Hiding apache version

If you run a curl on your website similar to the curl below, does it return apache versions?
This is NOT secure. We will now make a simple change to the httpd.conf or apache2.conf file to hide this

Example curl:

curl -LIsX GET lukeslinux.co.uk | grep -i apache
To hide the php value, turn the following value Off
ServerSignature On;
You will also need to change the following value:
ServerTokens Prod
Restart apache and you are done. Test again by rerunning the curl command.
