Since you're on Ubuntu, you may try opening this file:

sudo vi /etc/apache2/ports.conf

And change the listened port from Listen 80 to something like Listen 8080.

However, when you change Apache's port, you need to also change port number in virtual host config. The file will either be at

sudo vi /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/mysite.conf
sudo vi /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf

And change the port from <VirtualHost: *:80> to <VirtualHost: *:8080>

Lastly, restart the Apache server.

sudo systemctl restart apache2 #SystemD
sudo service apache2 restart #SysVInit

Hope this helps!
