Changing port on Apache doesn't work (using IZ-WAMP)

Question

I'm using IZ-WAMP https://sourceforge.net/projects/iz-wamp/ for PHP/Wordpress locally.

In their tray menu, on can access to httpd.conf

I changed port to 80 with

Define IZ_WAMP_HTTP_PORT "80"

But after restarting Apache, localhost doesn't work anymore.

Update after answer: I can't see any port 80 used by any app, and for httpd.exe I can only see "http" which is weird.

Answer 1

I am the creator of IZ-WAMP from France. You can go to the IZ-WAMP menu, "Administration / Systems infomations / TCPView". Then go to the "Local Port" column to see which process uses the "http" port. Also check that your firewall is not blocking the "Apache" application or the "http" port. Also note that when installing IZ-WAMP, if the port "80" is already used, it will configure you the port "8080". Everything is said during the installation. Best regards.
