apache service not started xampp

I am using Apache 2.2.17 with XAMPP Control Version 2.5 but and apache is using port 8080 but when I start apache service it shows:

ERROR : Apache service not started [-1]

and to see the port is used by any other program i did 

netstat -a -n -o

from where i got PID 2952 is using that port which is java.exe as I need that to run my program. I had changed port in the apache/conf/httpd.conf file as 

#Listen 0.0.0.0:87
#Listen [::]:87
Listen 87

and ServerName localhost:87 and restarted my pc but the port was not changed .Please help to get access to localhost/phpmyadmin

Take care of a few things.

Firstly, close Xampp completely before editing the httpd.conf file. Xampp tends to run Apache and other stuffs in the background even after you quit it. To check if it's closed completely, use the Task Manager.

Secondly, try any other Port number. To check which ports are unused, open command prompt and type netstat -an. You can view the list of ports that are open.
