Using editsite.exe to create a 2nd instance of MSP2002 Server

I have MS Project 2002 Server installed on our server. I
now want to create a 2nd instance in order to keep two
different PMO groups apart. I've downloaded editsite.exe
and create a new database. I can't seem to get it to
work. Has anybody tried doing this with success?

One of the easiest things to miss is that you have to point the
MSProjectServerUser and MSProjectUser sql accounts to the
MSProjectServerRole and MSProjectRole in the new database, too.
Also - if you created the new web as a new site on the same server, don't
forget to add the port number to the URL.
Furthermore - if you're planning to do some hacking in the asp pages, then
I'd recommend creating a copy of the entire "MS ProjectServer IIS Virtual
Root" folder and point the virtual web directory to that one for the second
site. If you do that - edit the PDS.wsld (found in the root folder of that
copy) to point to the correct web.

I had the dba copy the database to my new instance and
then ran editsite.exe. It keeps failing on the database.
I'm not sure why. I found the passwords in regedit. Any
ideas? The roles for the ID's seem to be good.

Microsofts instructions don't seem to help. I think they
assume a lot.

Could you try to access the database server using Query Analyzer and using
first the MSProjectServerUser id/pwd and then the MSProjectUser id/pwd ?
