Project 2007 Installation: Can't Connect to Project Server error

[Bob Stewart]

I'm deploying Project server 2007 on a small farm with the database being on
a separate machine. After successfully provisioning the project server
instance on a farm, I try to access the site that was sucessfully
provisioned, I get an error page -- the project server connection cannot be
made. When I look in the web server extensions logs I see a socket exception
"System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: No connection could be made because the
target machine actively refused it".

Any clues as to why this is occuring?

Thanks,
Bob Stewart

Bob:

Are you logged on using the account that you specified should be the Project
Server administrator? This is the only account that a fresh 2007
installation will recognize.
