Add Sharepoint Portal 2003 to existing Project Server

[Stupid48]

Hi,

I have been searching the web for any articles on the about subject but
can't seem to find this scenario. I have a Project Server 2003 box
with Windows Sharepoint integrated and they want me to add Sharepoint
Portal 2003 to the same server. I found the KB that talks about
installing them on the same box (KB840701) but that talks about
installing SPS first which is obviously not possible on an existing
Project Server. I also found an article on installing SPS on a server
that already has WSS but it does not talk about Project Server already
being installed and how that integration works. Can anyone point me in
the right direction on doing this?

Thanks,

Chris

The quick answer...
Create another IIS web site (do not use Host Header Names*)
Open SharePoint Central Admin (WSS)
Extend the new web site - Make sure to create a new content database
Follow the instructions at the following URL:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=824877&product=sppsvr2003

from the article...
*Note: Before you follow these steps, make sure that Windows SharePoint
Services is not installed in either host header mode or in Active
Directory mode. Installation of SharePoint Portal Server 2003 in either
of these scenarios is not supported.

Good Luck
