    2. Unzip the PHP4 Zip file and install it on the default directory C:/php4
    3. Copy the php.ini-recommended and paste it in PHP4 directory and rename it to php.ini.
    4. Open php.ini file in notepad and search for the below mentioned line:

    ;cgi.force_redirect = 1

    5. Change the above mentioned line to disable the force_redirect as shown below:

    cgi.force_redirect = 0

    6. Save the file.

    7. Download the PHP5 Zip file on the same windows server.
    8. Unzip the PHP5 Zip file and install it on the default directory C:/php5
    9. Copy the php.ini-recommended and paste it in PHP5 directory and rename it to php.ini.
    10. Open php.ini file of PHP5 in notepad and search for the below mentioned line:

    ;cgi.force_redirect = 1

    11. Change the above mentioned line to disable the force_redirect as shown below:

    cgi.force_redirect = 0

    12. Save the file.
    13. Set C:\php4\php.exe to be the “PHP App.path” in the HELM web service.
