XAMPP uses the standard ports of 80 and 443 for HTTP and HTTPS traffic. These ports can be changed through a few configuration file changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Typically XAMPP traffic is used just through HTTP and thus there may not be a need to change the HTTPS settings. But this tutorial will show how to change both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the sake of this tutorial, the default port of 80<\/code> will be changed to 8080<\/code>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                That is all it takes to change the ports in XAMPP for HTTP and HTTPS. Now you can access the websites with the new ports by adding :<port><\/code> at the end of the domain name. (ie. http:\/\/127.0.0.1:8080<\/code>)<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
