Installation script should correctly guess page URL with unusual port (see https://github.com/Elgg/Elgg/blob/1.8/install/ElggInstaller.php#L847). Did you adjust the site url value during the installation?

sounds like the problem would be Xampp, not elgg. It happens sometimes, but this bug should be solved.
