I encountered the same issue when trying to install eZ publish at home. It's a bug in PHP 4.4.2 that affects file opening functions such as fopen(). There are several PHP bug reports, here's one of them http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=36017.
eZ publish failed for me when testing for AcceptPathInfo (see Apache error log and access log for clues), but it can fail anywhere fopen() is used. If the Apache logs tell you what it was doing, go to kernel/setup/ezsetuptests.php and search for fopen() in the relevant test. Comment out the fopen() call and make sure the test returns <b>true</b> (at least for now). That should get you going.
Hans! Thanks for the clue you have provided! PHP 4.4.2. and fopen bug was exactly the case. I've installed one of the latest PHP snapshots, where the bug is fixed, and now everything works fine for me.
