I've got solution from website http://lia1488.wordpress.com/2009/10/08/menjalankan-iis-dan-xampp-di-windows-7-sekaligus/and it worked (thanks to aulia rahman)
Basically to do is like this:
1. locate httpd.conf, example is D:\xampp\apache\conf\httpd.conf
A. look for words "Listen 80? and change into "Listen 8080?
B. look for words "ServerName localhost:80? and change into "ServerName localhost:8080?

document root C:\WPDev - set this for a wordpress development site.
C. Save the file
2. locate httpd-ssl.conf, example is D:\xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-ssl.conf
A. look for words ""Listen 443? and change into ""Listen 4499?
B. look for words "<VirtualHost _default_:443>? and change into "<VirtualHost _default_:4499>?
C. look for words "ServerName localhost:443? and change into "ServerName localhost:4499?
D. Save the file
3. then start the XAMPP control panel, should be worked,
4. if you want to access localhost, the new link is localhost:8080/, example you want open phpmyadmin, then http://localhost:8080/phpmyadmin/

http://localhost:8080/

 

to install wordpress set the following by renaming wp-config-sample.php to wp-config.php

 

// ** MySQL settings - You can get this info from your web host ** //
/** The name of the database for WordPress */
define('DB_NAME', 'wordpressdev');

/** MySQL database username */
define('DB_USER', 'root');

/** MySQL database password */ - no password required..
define('DB_PASSWORD', '');

/** MySQL hostname */
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
