how to check what webserver is running
 

is there a way to check out which version of a webserver im running. Im trying nmap, and ethereal only thing i get is http/1.1. I want something else for output, like apache v.23.4 ex...is there any other program, or options i should set?

i think it says in the header of the cofig file off the top of my head.

what ?? :)

more /etc/apache/httpd.conf

Uhh, I'm assuming you meant remote version detection? What version of nmap are you using? Versions greater than 3.50 have built-in application version detection and is rather effective (nmap -A host). You can also just do a simple banner grab with telnet:

telnet ip.of.host 80
*If that works you should get something like this:
Trying 192.168.0.3....
Connected to 192.168.0.3.
Escape character is '^]'.
*You'll be at a blank line, now type this and hit enter twice:
GET / HTTP/1.0

You should get the banner plus raw html. In the banner, look at the Server info
HTTP/1.1 200 OK

You can also use www.netcraft.com to find out the webserver.
