Explanation / Answer

Hi,

Please install nessus scanning tool and try to detect the same. You may install nessus professional for trial. Then go to report and click on add scan. Provide scan name, run now and scan target. I have tested two site where web serve was apache and httpd, Os was ubuntu 16.04 and centos 7. Running service can be detected if the site is not secured or you are scanning in intranet site. I have tested on drupal site and another php site. Vulnerability was high on drupal. As some memory leakage detected in scan.
