You would access in the form of: http://<server-address>:<port>/ An example would be http://localhost:8080/
A Web server - or most other servers - will HAVE TO reserve a port number, to function correctly. For a Web server, this is usually port 80, but this can be changed to any other port.A Web server - or most other servers - will HAVE TO reserve a port number, to function correctly.

Port 80 is the default web server port and IIS would use Port 80 unless configured to use a different port.

Conventionally, an HTTP server listens on port 80. Regardless of the brand of web server that you are running, the server will typically listen for HTTP traffic on port 80 and HTTPS traffic on port 443.
The answer to this question depends entirely on the web server software you are using. Generally, however, there is a configuration setting that controls the port number. Check the manual or configuration files for the exact place to change the port number.
By default, most web servers are run on port 80. You can change this in the server's configuration file to something else, but then a web browser may have trouble accessing it.
At the server, the port numbers distinguish different services - the server can distinguish which of the messages it receives should be sent to the FTP server, which to the DNS server, to the WWW server, etc. For example, communication with a Web server would typically use port 80.At the client side, the port numbers distinguish different communications. For example, if I open 3 Web pages in my browser, and communicate with the same Web server, the destination port would of course be 80, but the origin port might be three different numbers such as 1024, 1025, 1026. Then, when the server sends the reply back, my browser knows to which file each incoming packet should be added.
