The default port :80 in xampp apache v1.6.7 is not working so I tried to change it into different values but the problem is that everytime time I will visit my website it requires the port to view the page like "http://www.website.com:8080/". Is there any possible solution to hide the port?

The most likely reason why port 80 is not working is because some other application is already using that port. It could be that you're running Skype for example, which I remember used to do this. Xampp has Netstat functionality which shows you which ports are being used by which application.

If you still wish to use 8080 instead, check this post for details on how to remove the port after URL.

I tried on looking to determine what application that runs port 80 and what I found is that "IPv4 and IPv6 Addresses" runs the port 80. How can I fix this?
