Hi,

Port 80 is the port assigned to the http protocol, as is port 443 for https, port 25 for SMTP, port 119 for NNTP, etc.
Because these ports are assigned, the related protocols do not need to specify the port number during transactions, the protocol used "knows" which port it should use if the port number is not specified.
From the moment a protocol uses a port other than the one assigned to it, this port number must always be specified in all transactions.
So, you will still need to specify port 8080 in all your http calls.
And that's why also, the port must be changed by the tools integrated in Wampserver so that it is changed wherever it needs to be done and that this change is known by Wampserver, therefore by Apache.
Just to see, what is the result of:
Right-Click -> Tools -> Test port 80
