I don't know how to do it with XAMPP control panel, but I do know how to do it the old fashioned way

If you are on windows, open C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\conf and look for a file called httpd.conf. In that file, find the following section (line 53):

## 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 (0.0.0.0)
#
#Listen 12.34.56.78:80
Listen 80

Simply change the number after the word Listen to the port you want it to use. Save the file and restart Apache. Be aware though that you will have to reconfigure any firewalls and routers to forward requests to your new port. Also, some people may have problems accessing your website if it is not on port 80 or the alternative 8080.

A faster way to get to the httpd.conf file is if you are using Windows, go to

Start-> All Programs-> Apache HTTP Server 2.2.x-> Configure Apache Server-> Edit the httpd.conf Configuration File.

I believe that is faster. And thanks I always wondered how to do that.

When you change the port number from 80 (the default) to 8080, in order to access your website, you would have to include the port number in the address, for instance: LOCALHOST:8080/

You have 2 files to change, one for the HTTP port 80 and another for the HTTPS port 443 so look for the configuration directive that starts with the keyword "Listen". The configuration files to look at are:
* C:\xampp\apache\conf\httpd.conf (Look for "Listen 80")
* C:\xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-ssl.conf (Look for "Listen 443")
