Signature on server

hey everybody how's it going in this video I'm going to show you how you can turn off your server signature which is a pretty big security issue now your server signature contains important information like the version of the server you're on your operating system what version of PHP you're using and so on and it shows up on pages like 404 x' and 403 x' when a page isn't found or when access is forbidden now in the wrong hands this info could be used against you generally speaking you're much better off if hackers or other bad players aren't able to know these details now as to why your server signature was turned on in the first place that's another question in any case after running our site on SEO site check up here we can see that it's failed this test and it shows us our vulnerable data here when our server generates web pages or even error pages then this info is displayed in the website server header hackers can use this information to identify potential vulnerabilities and places to attack us if we click on how to fix we can see guidelines on how to clean this up we don't want this information broadcast to the public now this is pretty easy actually but what you need to do here depends on your server so we'll go through each of these cases here for Apache you just need to add these two lines to your Apache config file now if you're using a boom to Debian or Linux Mint as your web server then you can find that Apache config file here or if your web server is on Fedora CentOS Rell or archlinux then you can find that Apache config file here and then all you need to do is add these two lines at the end of that Apache config file and boom your server signature is now off now if you have a wordpress site and all of that was just gibberish to you no worries for WordPress there are a few plugins out there that can handle that like WPA HT access control or we can also turn off the server signature ourselves by simply modifying the htaccess file to find that file just log into your wordpress control panel then come to SEO tools file editor and here you should see your htaccess file just add the two lines of code at the end and save if you want to disable your PHP version showing up it's pretty much the same thing we just discussed on asp.net you'll want to edit your web config file then find the system dot web element and add the following code and if you're running Apache you'll also need to find your config file if you're on a boon to Debian or Linux Mint you can find your config file here or if you're on Rails cent OS or Fedora that config file can be found here once you're in your config file you're going to want to hunt down the line expose PHP equals on and simply change it to off and there you go dust off your hands you're all set you've now got better general security since this system information is no longer showing up publicly for everybody to see feel free to check out our other videos so you can keep fine-tuning and getting the most out of your SEO and click subscribe to stay updated with new tips and tricks to get you to the top of the search engine results pages
