Hi All,
It's the first time here for me so pardon me if I write bullshits.

I have an Apache 2.2.11 Webserver on my box (Centos 4.7) and I have a question:

Currently, the Apache "signature" is the following: Apache/2.2.11 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.11 OpenSSL/0.9.8j DAV/2 PHP/5.2.9 mod_perl/2.0.4 Perl/v5.10.0 Server at xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Port xx.

It does display apache version as well as the system, modssl version, openssl version, dav version, php version, modperl version and perl version.

Here is the question: Is it possible to make it display there MySQL version? (should the mod_sql output there the mysql version?). Is it also possible to make it display other custom informations? (less important, the MySQL version would be more important).

Thanks to all that will answer.

Since MySQL is not a loadable module Apache .. the answer is NO & No.

However, with mod_security you can change the complete signature to anything you want. Insted of Apache/2.2.11 bla bla bla you could make it say "Joe's Bar & Grill, Open Nightly, Live Music Friday & Saturday"

I know it doesn't make sense to do what I put there, I'm just pointing out the fact one could do it.

Magic mod_security directive is

SecServerSignature "Joe's Bar & Grill, Open Nightly, Live Music Friday & Saturday"
