nginx - Hide the identity and version of nginx

Image
Whenever a user access a restricted page without a appropriate privilege, nginx server will redirect her to an error page: It will show its identity and version (nginx ). For the security's sake I want to hide those information and show my custom page instead of that default page. So, do the following: 1. Hide the nginx version: open the /etc/nginx/nginx.conf, edit the line: erver_tokens off;  save and exit. 2.
