How to change XAMPP apache server port?
The most common cause for the XAMPP Apache server not starting issue is because the default port no 80 may already be in use by another program like Skype, Teamviewer etc.and you get the following errors:
16:50:25 [Apache] Status change detected: running
16:50:26 [Apache] Status change detected: stopped
16:50:26 [Apache] Error: Apache shutdown unexpectedly.
16:50:26 [Apache] This may be due to a blocked port, missing dependencies,
16:50:26 [Apache] improper privileges, a crash, or a shutdown by another method.

ServerName localhost:80
ServerName localhost:8080
Step 2
From the XAMPP Control Panel, under Apache, click the Config button again, but this time select Apache (httpd-ssl.conf).
Change Listen port from 433 into any number / port you want. In my scenario I’m using port 4433.
Listen 443Also change VirtualHost & ServerName port from 433 into any number / port you want. I will use the same scenario using port 4433
