  1. Add ServerSignature Off line inside either the .htaccess, the virtual host file, or the main config file.

    More info can be found in the official apache documentation.

  2. Add ServerSignature Off to your main Apache config file.

    Also search for ServerSignature On in your whole apache config folder:

    cd /etc/apache2
grep -R 'ServerSignature On' * | grep -v '#'

    and change all findings with ServerSignature Off

    Also search in your web folder for such setting in all .htaccess files:

    find /var/www/ -name ".htaccess" -print | xargs grep "ServerSignature On"|grep -v '#'

    If those findings are too many, you can use sed to replace in the resulting output ServerSignature On with ServerSignature Off
