You will need to change the configure port of either Apache or Nginx. After you do this you will need to restart the reconfigured servers, using the 'service' command you used.

Apache

Edit

sudo subl /etc/apache2/ports.conf 

and change the 80 on the following line to something different :

Listen 80

If you just change the port or add more ports here, you will likely also have to change the VirtualHost statement in

sudo subl /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf

and change the 80 on the following line to something different :

then restart by :

sudo service apache2 restart

Nginx

Edit

/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default

and change the 80 on the following line :

listen 80;

then restart by :

sudo service nginx restart
