Answer 1

There are many tools which would let you know which program is using port 80 or 443 already. But I prefer a simple command to do so. Open up a command prompt then type.

netstat -a

It will let you know which program is using port 80 and for an explanation of all options.

netstat /?

Second Part of the question to Change the Apache port. You have to change the settings in apache httpd.conf settings from:

Listen 80
ServerName localhost:80

to

Listen 8012
ServerName localhost:8012

Then try to run in web browser as http://localhost:8012
