Change Nginx Version Header

Edit nginx.h

$ vi src/core/nginx.h

find lines:

#define NGINX_VERSION    "0.7.64"
#define NGINX_VER        "nginx/" NGINX_VERSION

Change them as follows:

#define NGINX_VERSION    "0.7.64"
#define NGINX_VER        "kutukupret/" NGINX_VERSION

Save and close the file. Now, you can compile the server. Add the following in nginx.conf to turn off nginx version number displayed on all auto generated error pages:

server_tokens off

Above hack doesn’t work here’s the good one:
edit src/http/ngx_http_header_filter_module.c

around line 48, changing the following line to something like:

static char ngx_http_server_string[] = "Server: yourserver" CRLF;
static char ngx_http_server_full_string[] = "Server: yourserver" CRLF;

    if you’re on redhat based like init script, just run this command from shell:

    # chkconfig nginx on

    make sure nginx is autostart:

    # chkconfig --list nginx
nginx           0:off   1:off   2:on    3:on    4:on    5:on    6:off

    start nginx manually

    # service nginx start

    stop nginx manually

    # service nginx stop
