Apache Security

It is very important to keep your server secure. Hiding versions of php and apache are part of the security measures.

Hiding php version

If you run a curl on your website similar to the curl below, does it return php versions?
This is NOT secure. We will now make a simple change to the /etc/php.ini file to hide this

Example curl:

curl -LIsX GET lukeslinux.co.uk | grep php
To hide the php value, turn the following value Off
expose_php = On;
Restart apache and you are done. Test again by rerunning the curl command.
