Install Xampp co-existing with IIS

Introduction

The main aim of this article is to help beginners to get Xampp Apache Server and IIS server to work together since there is an issue due to port 80. So we have to change Xampp port 80 to another port number (not used by any other service).

Use the following steps:

1. Download Xampp from the official website or directly from this link
2. After successful installation of Xampp, go to this directory inside your Xampp folder: /Xampp/apache/conf/httpd.conf
3. Search for Listen 80 and replace it with Listen 8080
4. Search for ServerName localhost:80 and replace it with ServerName localhost:8080
5. Save this file and close it
6. Then go to this directory: /Xampp/apache/conf/extra/httpd-ssl.conf
7. Search for Listen 443 and replace it with Listen 4499
8. Search for VirtualHost _default_:443> and replace it with VirtualHost _default_:4499>
9. Search for ServerName localhost:443 and replace it with ServerName localhost:4499
10. Save this file and close it
11. Congratulations, we are done. You can run your Apache service using Xampp Control Panel.
