i think you have another problem. It's correct, that there is no field where to put in the database name, you only have to tell ezp the db server and the pw. Then the installation should continue without creating tables in any db. Later in the installation progress you come to a point, where you select different site designs. There you have to choose, which database ezp should use.
Is there any error msg, when the installation stops? To see, how the installation should normally go on, visit: http://www.ez.no/developer/ez_publish_3/documentation/installation/the_setup_wizard
Is there any error msg, when the installation stops?
No. A "500" internal server error. Before system check is normal, jumps directly to email section. When I try username@databasename (which I know is incorrect, but I tried everything) : "The database would not accept the connection.."

Very easy ?? You're kidding ;) I have no root, no shell access an i'm limited to what I can do with FTP. And... I think this is a benefit to every linux system :) No, serious: I'm not unwilling to learn and read something about a phpshell script http://www.gimpster.com/wiki/PhpShell - do you think that may work?
Can this question be rephrased as 'Is it possible to install EZpub 3.2 on a linux based server with only an ftp acct and no root access?
There is an interesting site called www.opensourcecms.com which lets you try before install a heap of open source cm systems. Their main criteria for them is that the CMS does not require root access.
I have seen a few cms' change security so that only root priveleged installs are possible. Shame....
