I've got mod_php installed as well as mod_jk, so whenever there's a 404 Apache displays Apache/2.0.52 (FreeBSD) PHP/4.3.10 mod_jk/1.2.6 I'm not sure if I'm being overly paranoid, but I don't really like the fact that all that info gets displayed. Is there any way I can change Apache's version str

derstand how the inactive, cache, and buffered memory are used though. When a process uses up all the free memory, does it then use some from inactive, or does it use swap? On Tue, 8 Feb 2005 22:36:12 +0100, Erik Trulsson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Tue, Feb 08, 2005 at 02:33:14PM
