WAMP server won't prefix localhost and suffix port number

Question

Problem 1 :

The folders listed under Your Projects doesn't have the http://localhost/ prefix by default.

So instead of going to http://localhost/your_project/ , it goes to http://your_project/

Problem 2 :

And after changing my default Apache port number to 8085 (due to Skype conflict), the port number wont automatically get suffixed to http://localhost/.

So instead of going to http://localhost:8085/my_project, it simply goes to http://localhost/my_project/ (which obviously does not work).

For Skype port issues no need to change default 80 port you can try this solutions. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/37429409/xampp-apache-service-not-start/37429619#37429619 — Denis Bhojvani, Dec 30 '16 at 05:42
Yep bro that's really useful. But the main point here was that the port number doesn't get suffixed if we change the port number. Skype is not the only conflict that arises with port number ;) — Anu Shibin Joseph Raj, Dec 30 '16 at 05:50

Solution to problem 1 :

Locate and open index.php from www directory (C:\wamp\www\index.php)

Find this line :

$UrlPort = $port !== "80" ? ":".$port : '';

Change it to :

$UrlPort = $port !== "80" ? ":".$port : ':8085';

where 8085 is the new port number in your case

Solution to problem 2 :

Locate and open wampmanager.conf from wamp installation directory (C:\wamp\wampmanager.conf)
