[SOLVED] XAMPP - Port 80 in use by... though I cahnged the port to 8080

Issue

I've changed the ports as posted on other threads httpd-ssl.conf: Listen 8080, ServerName localhost:8080

Edited the httpd-ssl.conf as well: Listen 4433, <VirtualHost _default_:4433> ,ServerName www.example.com:4433

I don't get it because Apache starting, but only after these error messages... Just wondering if it's fine to leave it like this, and what could cause the problem.

[Apache] Problem detected!
[Apache] Port 80 in use by "Unable to open process" with PID 4!
[Apache] Apache WILL NOT start without the configured ports free!
[Apache] You need to uninstall/disable/reconfigure the blocking application
[Apache] or reconfigure Apache and the Control Panel to listen on a different port

Solution

I figured out what caused the problem.. It was the IIS. To fix it - open "run" (Winkey + R) write services.msc, then search for World Wide Web Publishing Service and set it to Manual. If you don't need it, you can go to Control Panel>Programs and Features>Turn Windows features on or off, and uncheck "Internet Information Services" click OK, restart is required. I believe that for some people it'll be enough to edit the XAMPP httpd.conf, and set the port to 8080 or whatever is available.

UPDATE: It seems it wasn't the IIS! You don't even need to change the IIS to Manual startUp. In addition to the httpd.conf we need to configure the main ports. Open XAMPP click on config (The one with the wrench icon) >Service and Port Settings> Change the "main Port" and "SSL Port" for e.g 8080, 4433 Click Save and there you go :) XAMPP v.3.2.2
