Read the concepts here:
http://ez.no/ez_publish/documentation/ez_publish_basics/site_management_in_ez_publish

Assuming your default or first site is named: "first_site"
Assuming your second site is named "second_site"
Assuming your SETUP is URL setup
Assuming your sencond site uses a different language and a different database account
Assuming your DB is MySQL DB

First create the database account (database, host, user, password )for your second site

A minimalistic step by step guide :

1) create a dir for settings of your second site as settings/siteaccess/second_site
2) copy files from settings/siteaccess/first_site to settings/siteaccess/second_site
4) create a dir for templates as design/second_site
6) create a dir for media storage and cache files as var/second_site
7) Edit the following settings in settings/siteaccess/second_site/site.ini.append

   
   [SiteSettings]
   SiteName=Second Site
   SiteURL=www.mydomain.com/second_site
   
   [DesignSettings]
   SiteDesign=second_site
   AdditionalSiteDesignList[]=first_site
   
   [FileSettings]
   VarDir=var/second_site
   
   [DatabaseSettings]
   Server=localhost
   Database=second_site_database
   User=my_user
   Password=my_password
   
   [ContentSettings]
   TranslationList=por-PT;eng-GB //here change to your list of languages
   
   [RegionalSettings]
   Locale=eng-GB   //here change to the second site language
   ContentObjectLocale=eng-GB  //change to the second site language

8) Add this lines to your settings/override/site.ini.append

[SiteSettings]
SiteList[]=second_site
[SiteAccessSettings]
AvailableSiteAccessList[]=second_site

Now you will need to create an extra site for admin your second site, assuming it uses a different database and a different language

9) create a dir for settings of your second site admin as settings/siteaccess/second_site_admin
10) copy files from settings/siteaccess/first_site_admin to settings/siteaccess/second_site_admin
11) Edit the following settings in settings/siteaccess/second_site/site.ini.append

   
   [SiteSettings]
   SiteName=Second Site Admin
   SiteURL=www.mydomain.com/second_site_admin
   
   [DesignSettings]
   SiteDesign=admin
   
   [FileSettings]
   VarDir=var/second_site
   
   [DatabaseSettings]
   Server=localhost
   Database=second_site_database
   User=my_user
   Password=my_password
   
   [ContentSettings]
   TranslationList=por-PT;eng-GB //here change to your list of languages
   
   [RegionalSettings]
   Locale=eng-GB   //here change to the second site language
   ContentObjectLocale=eng-GB  //change to the second site language

12) Add this lines to your settings/override/site.ini.append

[SiteSettings]
SiteList[]=second_site_admin
[SiteAccessSettings]
AvailableSiteAccessList[]=second_site_admin

13) Clear all the caches

Please note that cleandata.sql loads eng-GB content and this breaks it all if you've set up a different language.

You need to issue a couple of SQL updates in the DB to fix this, as described in the "Manual configuration of eZ publish" document.

SQL command #1:

UPDATE ezcontentobject_name
SET
 content_translation='nor-NO',
 real_translation='nor-NO'
WHERE
 content_translation='eng-GB' OR
 real_translation='eng-GB';

SQL command #2:

UPDATE ezcontentobject_attribute
SET
 language_code='nor-NO'
WHERE
 language_code='eng-GB';
