Not sure if this is the right subforum, so plz move if it belongs elsewhere.
I'm running some fairly recent version of XAMPP via a USB drive, in order to work on a website between my home and work computers. On my work machine, the default config is just fine.
At home, however, I'm running IIS (I also have an ASP site on my home machine that I mess with from time to time). Changing the listening and server port from 80 to 8080 (in httpd.conf) worked fine. Then I rebooted my computer, and for some reason the XAMPP Control Panel is trying to start Apache with port 80 now. I triple-checked, and httpd.conf is definitely set to use port 80.
Not only that, but if I stop IIS entirely, I can start Apache (using port 80), but it's still using port 8080 to serve content - I have to go to localhost:8080 in my browser; just navigating to localhost won't work.
Am I missing something here? I was thinking that httpd.conf was the only place I needed to change anything in order to configure Apache, but XAMPP isn't behaving that way...
