Hi James

No, ports can not be changed automatically. They are "hardcoded" in
apache's config files.

Maybe someone installed another app that uses those ports, added those and
removed original ones.

In any case, for those changes to take effect, apache service has to be
restarted/reloaded.

Regards

Alvaro
