"fine but the (ez documentation) suggested combination of user=admin, and password=publish doesn't work. "
login and password for the admin user of ez, are defined during installation. the documentation suggests admin / publish, but are you sure that you have entered this information?
I have already installed several times ez 4.0.0, and I've never had this problem
thank you

Maybe I'm missing something! Could you be more specific as to how the user/pwd parameters are defined. Is it done by the Setup Wizard or by the user itself in the installation process?
