Answer 1

You are probably running PHP 5.3.x and the version of vtiger you are using is not compatible with 5.3.x

You could either use another php version, or simply supress the errors.

in php.ini:

error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_STRICT & ~E_DEPRECATED

or you could use a error_reporting from within php

Answer 2

To resolve these errors

Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in C:\xampp\htdocs\vtigercrm\adodb\adodb-xmlschema.inc.php on line 373

Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in C:\xampp\htdocs\vtigercrm\adodb\adodb-xmlschema.inc.php on line 385

$this->indexes[$name] =& new dbIndex( $this, $attributes );//373

$this->data =& new dbData( $this, $attributes );//385

in this two lines remove the '&' symbol

 $this->indexes[$name] = new dbIndex( $this, $attributes );//373

    $this->data = new dbData( $this, $attributes );//385

Answer 3

Simply set your PHP to version 5.2 will resolved the same. I have experienced the similar and resolved it by that.
