If you followed guvnr's guide setting up nginx and would like to hide the version number, you will need to edit the nginx.conf file
```
vi /usr/local/nginx/conf/nginx.conf

add this:
server_tokens   off;

inside http{}
```

If you want to completely remove the part that says "nginx" then you will need to edit the source code file called ngx_http_header_filter_module.c

vi /root/sources/nginx-0.7.62/src/http/ngx_http_header_filter_module.c (lines 48 and 49)

static char ngx_http_server_string[] = "Server: yourdomain.com" CRLF;
static char ngx_http_server_full_string[] = "Server: yourdomain.com" CRLF;
