Question

After I changed the port, apache is not reaching running state .Before I was able to start mysql server from xampp control panel and it was running fine.

It is not triggering any error as well. for better understanding see the screen shot screen shot

have you checked the log-files. its located at `\xampp\php\logs\php_error_log`. can you update your question with the last entries of that log-file. — wayneOS, May 29 '18 at 06:28
@wayneOS This is about the http server not starting, not about php. — arkascha, May 29 '18 at 06:44
Oh sorry copied the wrong line! check that logs `xampp\apache\logs` — wayneOS, May 29 '18 at 07:54
Thanks for updating your question. It looks like it is a port-issue. which port did you choose? are you sure it is free? have you checked with `netstat` in a cmd-window? — wayneOS, May 29 '18 at 08:33

Revert the port. Does this fix the problem?
Determine where all your CONF files are. If you have duplicates, determine which duplicates are invalid.
If all else fails, consider uninstalling Apache (link) and reinstall from XAMPP.
