Re: Re: Windows install error on tw1.9rc1 - The fix!
IMHO this is a workaround, NOT a fix. You notice that PHP warns you that this usage has been "deprecated" - ie it is not a good idea to use it because it may well not be supported at all in a forthcoming version of PHP. The fix would presumably be to modify the function definition - however, I could not find the pam_auth function definition anywhere (well, I'm only running Windows, I don't have a grep...)
But since I don't intend to use PAM anyway, the other solution is to modify the function call itself to read:
if (pam_auth($user, $pass, $error))
instead of:
if (pam_auth($user, $pass, &$error))
It is that "&" that PHP is disapproving of. Otherwise you end up with a deprecated configuration in your server php.ini which IMHO is very undesirable. 
Of course this is not really a fix either - but I don't have time to work out where the pam_auth function is....
