How to install xampp open localhost: 8080 instead of simple localhost

I am using XAMPP 1.7.3. Apache and MySQL are installed. Nothing more.

Apache is installed on the default port of 80. Clicking on Admin next to Apache opens http://localhost/xampp/ . How does it work.

I went to xampp/apache/conf/httpd.conf and edited it. Install Listen 8080 . Now http://localhost:8080/xampp/ works as expected, but the Admin button still opens http://localhost/xampp/ , which doesn't open anything. After that, I restarted the computer without any results.

I believe that the admin button will always open the default configuration. It just contains a link to localhost/xampp and does not read the server configuration.

If you change the default settings, you know that you have changed, and you can enter the URL directly in the browser.

The port referenced by the admin button link is configured. In the XAMPP installation folder there is a xampp-control.ini file. Changing the Apache entry in [ServicePorts] will affect the URL that the admin button opens.

 [ServicePorts] Apache=8080

you can get the loccalhost page by writing localhost/xampp or by writing http://127.0.0.1 you get the local host page. After starting apache, which can be from wamp, xamp or lamp.

I agree and found this file in the xammp-control file, the file type is the configuration. When I changed it to 8080, it worked automatically!
