If you wish to set your own server version for Apache too somthing else that maybe fits into your company name, its actually a very simple process but it does involve adjusting the apache source.
An example of what it looks like after you have edited is google.com
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Cache-Control: private
Content-Type: text/html
path=/; domain=.google.com
Server: GWS/2.1
Content-Length: 0
Date: Wed, 16 Nov 2005 21:33:28 GMT
As you see it returns GWS, speculation says its Google Web Server however watching as the versions go on they match the Apache releases, so they either use a heavily modded apache version or just the simple change that I am about to show.
Apache does have this feature somewhat built in already and all we are changing is one line.
if (ap_server_tokens == SrvTk_PRODUCT_ONLY) {
ap_add_version_component(pconf, AP_SERVER_BASEPRODUCT);
}
else if (ap_server_tokens == SrvTk_MINIMAL) {
ap_add_version_component(pconf, AP_SERVER_BASEVERSION);
}
else if (ap_server_tokens == SrvTk_MINOR) {
ap_add_version_component(pconf, AP_SERVER_BASEPRODUCT "/" AP_SERVER_MINORREVISION);
}
else if (ap_server_tokens == SrvTk_MAJOR) {
ap_add_version_component(pconf, AP_SERVER_BASEPRODUCT "/" AP_SERVER_MAJORVERSION);
}
else {
ap_add_version_component(pconf, AP_SERVER_BASEVERSION " (" PLATFORM ")");
}
This is where it sets the product version, and if you set it to Prod it will only return the base_product with nothing else, so all we have to do is adjust the base_product. Anyway enough babbling and lets get straight to the point.
Firstly, you will need to grab a copy of apache from http://www.apache.org and untar it,
Now we need to modify include/ap_release.h before compiling
nano include/ap_release.h
Find
#define AP_SERVER_BASEPRODUCT "Apache"
and replace it with
#define AP_SERVER_BASEPRODUCT "HostGeekZ"
Obviously replacing HostGeekZ with the version you wish to use.
Now compile and install apache
./configure --prefix=/usr/hostgeekz
make
make install
Now want to set httpd.conf to read the first statement of server_baseproduct only to do this open httpd.conf, the path will depend on what you set --prefix to, as we used /usr/hostgeekz this is where httpd.conf will be
nano /usr/hostgeekz/conf/httpd.conf
Now find
ServerSig
and set this too
ServerSig off
Then add this below
ServerTokens Prod
Then start apache, you are now complete and it should return
Server: HostGeekZ
