  I used .htaccess maker to make a .htaccess file. Everything seems to be working except the ServerSignature Off. Below are the relevant lines form the file:

## Remove Apache and PHP version signature
<IfModule mod_headers.c>
	Header unset X-Powered-By
</IfModule>

ServerSignature Off


Many thanks!

Brian,

I don't fully understand your question. The .htaccess lines look correct, the same lines are in my .htaccess file. What were you expecting?

The Apache version shows up in the header. It is my understanding that these lines in the .htaccess file should prevent the Apache version from appearing, the same as if I had added ServerSignature off to the main httpd.conf file.

I have made sure that .htaccess file access is enabled and I have restarted the Apache server. All other elements of the .htaccess file appear to be working. However, this part does not.

OK, now I get it. It is possible that your host has it set up so that the httpd.conf setting can not be changed from the .htaccess file.
