XAMPP Ports Change On its Own

Question

My Apache Ports are set to:
80 and 443

Looking at the XAMPP control panel a few hours later, I noticed the Ports had changed to

Answer 1

This is the full scenario i am explaining here that will clear you out :

We get a php page not responding, the first thing comes to our mind is : Is the apache service running on xampp ?

we immediately go to the xampp to check, and what we see is , the port is not 80 !!! Definitely every one will deduce the result that its port issue (same case happened to me) .

While its not the port issue. infact xampp changes the ports for it self. while requests are recieved on 80 as normal.

The real issue at that time is : that our code is not connecting to Database.

Hence . please keep in mind, there is no issue in that. Your apache is fine. Just go and check your db connection !! and cheers :)
