Apache Friends Support Forum

Hello

I've just installed xampp and I want to change apache port from 80 to 8080, I've opened httpd.conf file locate in C:\xampp\apache\conf, and I change to lines,

#Listen 12.34.56.78:80
Listen 8080

and
ServerName localhost:8080

but When I try to run apache with xampp, it still look for port 80 and doesnt' start.

I am more than an hour google for a solution, but I have a right answer that how to change the port and it works fine.

Thanks in advance

David

and doesnt' start.

Why not?
--> error message

there's no error message, just when I press start on xampp, it writtes : Apache started [Port 80], but port 80 it doesn't be yet in httpd.conf. What I don't know it's why Xampp still tries to start on 80 instead of 8080.

there's no error message, just when I press start on xampp,

Start Apache with the batchfile and read the error message.

Hi again

I've investigated, and when a I put port 7070 or 8080, I run with the bath file ,and it say me port 443 it's busy. I have in skype the option to listen for por 80 and 443, if I shut off skype it works, but I wonder if I put port 7070 or 8080, what does it say me port 443 it's busy ? Witch port I can write in httpd.conf with doesn't anything to do with port 80 or 443.

what does it say me port 443

Port 443 is configured for HTTPS in "httpd-ssl.conf".
