Solved How to get rid of X-Powered-By header?

From the response header how do I get rid of X-Powered-By: PHP/x.x.x header? I am using lighttpd.
I have enabled mod_expire but I think this has something to do with php.ini but there is no file called "php.ini" rather .production .development file instead?
Let me know if I can disable mod_expire id it is not required.

Any ideas?
 
And you are meant to copy the appropriate.ini file yourself.

So if a production machine copy the .production file to php.ini but if a dev machine use the .development file as the source for php.ini.
 
I know the php method but FreeBSD runs php without a php.ini file, so I was wondering. Setting up a php.ini file means all other parameters within the file too would need to be checked, rather than letting the current default ones being as it is.
 
Thank you for the response. I am now using this - did a bit of hardening. X-Powered by header is gone but will need to test the webpages again - incase it broke something inadvertently
