[siem212212]

So first of all i want to say this is my very first tutorial , so please dont be to hard on me .

Allright lets start.

First of all we want to go to the xampp home folder , May be C:\xampp or (Whateverdisk)\xampp\program files( most of time for vista users )

Click on the appache folder to open the folder ( O rly? )

find http.CONF and open it , then scroll a lil bit down till you find this :

#
# Listen: Allows you to bind Apache to specific IP addresses and/or
# ports, instead of the default. See also the <VirtualHost>
# directive.
#
# Change this to Listen on specific IP addresses as shown below to 
# prevent Apache from glomming onto all bound IP addresses.
#
#Listen 0.0.0.0:80
#Listen [::]:80
Listen 80

now we want to change the port xampp listen on, so change the 80 to 85
Like this :

#
# Listen: Allows you to bind Apache to specific IP addresses and/or
# ports, instead of the default. See also the <VirtualHost>
# directive.
#
# Change this to Listen on specific IP addresses as shown below to 
# prevent Apache from glomming onto all bound IP addresses.
#
#Listen 0.0.0.0:85
#Listen [::]:85
Listen 85

then save ( make sure xampp control is not running ! )
then re-open xampp and click refresh.
It should run fine now,

( Yes it will show : Listen port 80 in control panel off xampp but dont mind that. )

now you can acces you're site again !

! Some xampp versions are not realy made for this !
, if you still get an error add :85 after it : Like this 127.0.0.1:85
or :
Localhost:85
