hi, is there any possibility to change/remove wowza server page when someone try to access on some port ? I mean by example : “Wowza Media Server 3 Trial Edition (Expires: nov. 24, 2011) 3.0.2.02 build877” from scan : “FlashCom 3.5.7 (Wowza Media Server 3 Trial Edition (Expires: nov. 24, 2011) 3.0.2.02 build877 http config)” On my side I need to let tcp 80 opened to use rtmpt but if a user try from his browser to enter url, he will get message above ☹ so I would like to change it at least. Thanks NIcolas ---

Hi Nicolas, This is set in conf/VHost.xml. Comment out the HTTPServerVersion HTTPProvider for the port you desire. By default this is enabled on ports 1935, 443, 8086, but not port 80. ---

I think this is Wowza user-agent in this case. I don’t think it is configurable Richard ---

Or you can change the AuthenticationMethod of that HTTPProvider in the VHost.xml to “admin-basic” to require username and password, which you can provide like this: ```auto http://username:password@[wowza-address]:1935 ``` Richard ---

Sorry for bumping this old topic but: I’ve removed the section and never found the version again 🙂 But, since recently i’ve found the versioning again (Server: FlashCom/3.5.7). I believe it came back after upgrading from 2.x to 3.x. The Vhost.xml does not contain the HTTPServerVersion (the section is completely removed). > HTTP request sent, awaiting response… > > HTTP/1.0 200 OK > > Content-type: text/xml > > Access-Control-Allow-Origin: \* > > Content-Type: text/html > > Connection: Keep-Alive > > Server: FlashCom/3.5.7 > > Cache-Control: no-cache > > Content-Length: 78 > > Length: 78 [text/xml] > > Remote file exists. > > Any idea? ---

> Hi > > I’m afraid you can’t remove the FlashCom version. > > As far as I’m aware its always been there. > > Jason Now you mention it, this could be the case. I think I was mistaking by the wowza version number you get if you put [http://wowza-ip:1935](http://wowza-ip:1935) in your browser. That option can be disabled by the HTTPServerVersion. Is there a way to make this more secure? when I (or anybody else) perform a scan my Wowza server, it want it go give me a “forbidden” (403) or “not found” (404) by default. Any way to make this possible? Thanks so far 🙂 ---

If you don’t want Wowza to listen on certain ports you can comment out the section in conf/VHost.xml. Or remave a particular port from the ports element. Or you can do something with your firewall. ---

Hi I’m afraid you can’t remove the FlashCom version. As far as I’m aware its always been there. Jason ---
