Change Apache Default Port

I was playing around with XAMPP trying out the OrangeHR open source application.

I installed XAMPP on a machine with an IIS 7 pointing to HTTP port 80. So when I tried to start apache, I encounter a conflict.

Modifying the Apache included with XAMPP to use another port is very easy. Go to the installation directory.

It usually is c:\xampp\

In c:\xampp\apache\conf look for file httpd.conf

Look for a line that says: Listen 80  and change it for the port you need. In my case Listen 78

Save the file. And restart apache and TA DA!!!
