Following Scenario helps us to run the XAMPP Apache

Step 1 – From the XAMPP Control Panel, under Apache, click the Config button, and select the Apache (httpd.conf).

Inside the httpd.conf file, somehow I found a line that says:
Listen 80

And change the 80 into any number/port you want. In this scenario, we are using port 8080.
Listen 8080

Still from the httpd.conf file, I found another line that says:
ServerName localhost:80

And change 80 to 8080.

ServerName localhost:8080

Step 2 – From the XAMPP Control Panel, under Apache, click the Config button again, but this time select the Apache (httpd-ssl.conf). Inside the httpd-ssl.conf file, find line that says
Listen 443

And change the 443 into any number/port you want. We are using 4433 as the new port number.
Listen 4433

Still from the httpd-ssl.conf file, find another line that says

<VirtualHost _default_:443>

ServerName localhost:443

And change 443 to 4433.

<VirtualHost _default_:4433>

ServerName localhost:4433

Remember to save the httpd.conf and httpd-ssl.conf files after performing some changes. Then restart the Apache service.
