How to hide Apache web server header signature?

[N.B.]

I am running Apache 1.3.20 on Linux , when I do a port scan it shows up
exactly what version of Apache I am running. Is there a way to hide this
information from web server header?

N.B.

Try these directives:

ServerSignature directive
Syntax: ServerSignature On|Off|EMail
Default: ServerSignature Off
Context: server config, virtual host, directory, .htaccess
Status: core
Compatibility: ServerSignature is only available in Apache 1.3 and later.
The ServerSignature directive allows the configuration of a trailing footer
line under server-generated documents (error messages, mod_proxy ftp
directory listings, mod_info output, ...). The reason why you would want to
enable such a footer line is that in a chain of proxies, the user often has
no possibility to tell which of the chained servers actually produced a
returned error message.
The Off setting, which is the default, suppresses the error line (and is
therefore compatible with the behavior of Apache-1.2 and below). The On
setting simply adds a line with the server version number and ServerName of
the serving virtual host, and the EMail setting additionally creates a
"mailto:" reference to the ServerAdmin of the referenced document.

----

ServerTokens directive
Syntax: ServerTokens Minimal|ProductOnly|OS|Full
Default: ServerTokens Full
Context: server config
Status: core
Compatibility: ServerTokens is only available in Apache 1.3 and later; the
ProductOnly keyword is only available in versions later than 1.3.12
This directive controls whether Server response header field which is sent
back to clients includes a description of the generic OS-type of the server
as well as information about compiled-in modules.

ServerTokens Prod[uctOnly]
Server sends (e.g.): Server: Apache
ServerTokens Min[imal]
Server sends (e.g.): Server: Apache/1.3.0
ServerTokens OS
Server sends (e.g.): Server: Apache/1.3.0 (Unix)
ServerTokens Full (or not specified)
Server sends (e.g.): Server: Apache/1.3.0 (Unix) PHP/3.0 MyMod/1.2
This setting applies to the entire server, and cannot be enabled or disabled
on a virtualhost-by-virtualhost basis.
