By default the Apache installation of XAMPP operates on port 80. Now Skype is also working on the same port leading to a conflict and I have to shut down Skype before Apcahe starts working. How can I change the port of Apache ?

Why don't you configure Skype not to use ports 80 and 443?
Thats a simply checkbox in the Skype configuration.

Thanks, I found the settings and unchecked the checkbox. So it has solved my problem. However, I would still like an answer to my question so as to increase my knowledge.

Listen and ServerName directive in \xampp\apache\conf\httpd.conf for Port 80
Listen, <VirtualHost> and ServerName directive in \xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-ssl.conf for Port 443

And you need to change the observed ports in your XAMPP control panel v3 settings too.

Where do you change the observed ports in the control panel? I'm running the very latest version of xampp.

Never mind I found it under the config options.
