HOW TO CHANGE THE APACHE PORT IN XAMPP

For many reason Apache port number need to be changed in xampp  e.g  for using Skype along with Apache.
Its easy to change to port number.

1. Go to your C drive then xampp\apache\conf. 

2. open the conf file with notepad or any other editor. 

3. find the line "listen 80".

4. change 80 to 8888 or any other number then save it. 

5. Now restart Xampp and start the Apache server. It will now start along with Skype.
