I have also been caught in this problem by the install-wizard server-side script trying to contact the eZ.no repository for the overview of site packages. Which is not allowed by the web-hosted server causing the wizard to crash (reporting something java-like: ...missing tomcat engine...).

Found that problem was in: function eZStepSiteTypes.

Solution: Comment away this function in: kernel/setup/steps/ezstep_site_types.php

Not the most elegant way to do it, I guess, but it works. You will proceed and have the opportunity to upload the site files to the setup wizard from your local computer. I think these files need to be taken care of by the wizard, have not found any obvious folder where to upload them.

The site files/packages you may first find and download from here (for eZ 4.2): http://ez.no/download/ez_publish/ez_publish_4_stable_releases/4_2/packages/4_2_0

Start with the file ezwebin_extension and alike, then all the required dependencies will be listed by the wizard.

(Somehow, the wizard still don't get past the second-last step before a similar error occurs, but as nearly everything is working ok afterwards I have chosen to disregard this fact.)
