[CLOSED] Apache 'not found display' (looking to be hidden)

If someone mistypes a URL onto my box, Apache will display the 'Not Found' sign and also print out the Apache, PHP and FrontPage version details. How can this be omitted on security grounds? thx.

I think this info is in the http headers anyway but, two ways,

Supply custom error pages
in commonapache2.conf turn off ServerSignature

I do not have a commonapache2.conf file. Can I add your directive to the apache2/httpd.conf file instead?
