• As I am working in a corporate environment where developers faces firewall issues, none of the other answers resolved my issue.
• As the port is not used by Skype, but by some other internal applications, I followed the below steps to resolve the issue:

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 my scenario I’m using port 8080.
• Listen 8080
• Still from the httpd.conf file, I found another line that says:
• ServerName localhost:80
• 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. I’ll 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.
