How to set xampp open localhost:8080 instead of just localhost

Question

I use XAMPP 1.7.3. Apache and MySQL installed. Nothing else. Apache installed on default port 80. Clicking on Admin next to Apache opens `http://localhost/xampp/`. Which works as expected. I navigated to `xampp/apache/conf/httpd.conf` and edited it. Set `Listen 8080`. Now `http://localhost:8080/xampp/` works as expected but the Admin button still opens `http://localhost/xampp/` which does not open anything. I have restarted the computer after doing so with no results. How to make XAMPP apache admin open `localhost:8080/xampp` ?

Accepted Answer

I believe the admin button will open the default configuration always. It simply contains a link to `localhost/xampp` and it doesn't read the server configuration.

If you change the default settings, you know what you changed and you can enter the URL directly in the browser.
