The best solution is to reconfigure the XAMPP Apache server to listen and use different port numbers  Here is how you do it   1  First  you need to open the Apache    httpd conf    file and configure it to use listen on a new port no  To open httpd conf file  click the    Config    button next to Apache    Start    and    Admin    buttons  In the popup menu that opens  click and open httpd conf  2  Within the httpd conf file search for    listen     You   ll find two rows with something like    Listen 12 34 56 78 80 Listen 80   Change the port no to a port no  of your choice  e g  port 1234  like below   Listen 12 34 56 78 1234 Listen 1234   3  Next  in the same httpd conf file look for    ServerName localhost     Set it to the new port no   ServerName localhost 1234   4  Save and close the httpd conf file   5  Now click the Apache config button again and open the    httpd-ssl conf    file   6  In the httpd-ssl conf file  look for    Listen    again  You may find   Listen 443   Change it to listen on a new port no of your choice  Say like   Listen 1443   7  In the same httpd-ssl conf file find another line that says  lt VirtualHost  default  443 gt   Change this to your new port no   like 1443   8  Also in the same httpd-ssl conf you can find another line defining the port no  For that look for    ServerName     you might find something like   ServerName www example com 443 or  ServerName localhost 433   Change this ServerName to your new port no   8  Save and close the httpd-ssl conf file   9  Finally  there   s just one more place you should change the port no  For that  click and open the    Config    button of your XAMPP Control Panel  Then click the     Service and Port Settings    button  Within it  click the    Apache    tab and enter and save the new port nos in the    main port    and    SSL port    boxes  Click save and close the config boxes   That should do the trick  Now    Start    Apache and if everything goes well  your Apache server should start up   You will also see the Apache Port s no in the XAMPP control panel has change to the new port IDs you set

To answer the original question   To change the XAMPP Apache server port here the procedure    1  Choose a free port number  The default port used by Apache is 80   Take a look to all your used ports with Netstat  integrated to XAMPP Control Panel      Then you can see all used ports and here we see that the 80port is already used by System     Choose a free port number  8012  for this exemple    2  Edit the file  httpd conf      This file should be found in C  xampp apache conf on Windows or in bin apache for Linux     Listen 80 ServerName localhost 80   Replace them by   Listen 8012 ServerName localhost 8012   Save the file   Access to   http   localhost 8012 for check if it s work   If not  you must to edit the http-ssl conf file as explain in step 3 below     3  Edit the file  http-ssl conf      This file should be found in C  xampp apache conf extra on Windows or see this link for Linux    Locate the following lines   Listen 443  lt VirtualHost  default  443 gt  ServerName localhost 443   Replace them by with a other port number  8013 for this example     Listen 8013  lt VirtualHost  default  8013 gt  ServerName localhost 8013   Save the file   Restart the Apache Server   Access to   http   localhost 8012 for check if it s work   4  Configure XAMPP Apache server settings  If your want to access localhost without specify the port number in the URL http   localhost instead of http   localhost 8012    Open Xampp Control Panel Go to Config   Service and Port Settings   Apache Replace the Main Port and SSL Port values   with those chosen  e g  8012 and 8013   Save Service settings Save Configuration of Control Panel Restart the Apache Server  It should work now    4 1  Web browser configuration  If this configuration isn t hiding port number in URL it s because your web browser is not configured for  See   Tools   Options   General   Connection Settings    will allow you to choose different ports or change proxy settings    4 2  For the rare cases of ultimate bad luck  If step 4 and Web browser configuration are not working for you the only way to do this is to change back to 80  or to install a listener on port 80  like a proxy  that redirects all your traffic to port 8012   To answer your problem    If you still have this message in Control Panel Console        Apache Started  Port 80     Find location of xampp-control exe file  probably in C  xampp  Create a file XAMPP INI in that directory  so XAMPP ini and xampp-control exe are in the same directory    Put following lines in the XAMPP INI file    PORTS  apache   8012   Now   you will always get      Apache started  Port 8012    Please note that  this is for display purpose only   It has no relation with your httpd conf
