WampServer

Before I installed wampserver on my computer,I have visual studios which comes with its IIs server.Now after installing wampser,whenever i click the local host,the system will reply that another server is using port 8080,therefore, that wampserver cannot run.Please how can I assign a different port to wampserver other than port 8080 ?

By default WAMPServer i.e Apache uses port 80

IIS is also a web server and therefore also uses port 80. Port 80 is the default port used by all web servers.

I assume the message you are seeing is suggesting that you change the port number used by Apache to 8080.

There are a couple of options here :-

1. You stop the IIS server while you are developing using WAMPServer(Apache)
2. You disable IIS while you are using WAMPServer
3. You change the port number being used by Apache

To change the port number used by Apache do this :-

Edit the httpd.conf file ( use the wampmanager menus to ensure you are editing the correct file )

wampmnager -> Apache -> httpd.conf

Find these lines

Listen 0.0.0.0:80
Listen [::0]:80

And change it to

Listen 0.0.0.0:8080
Listen [::0]:8080

Unfortunately this will mean you have to manually add the port number to all the urls like so
'localhost:8080'
'localhost:8080/phpmyadmin'

This can become rather annoying after a while so my suggestion woudl be to use option 1 or 2 from above.
