This guide you through a step by step tutorial to get phpbb enabled in your drupal site.
phpbb module (http://drupal.org/project/phpbb)
This is a module that lets Drupal handle user- and session-management for phpBB 3.0.x, a popular forum / bulletin board system. The result is that users can be registered, maintained and login through Drupal.
The only drawback, if we can name it that way, is that phpbb is not embedded into the drupal page but is integrated so we do not get a generic look and feel.
Requirements
php 4.x or 5.x
mysql 3.x or 4.x
clean URLs in drupal
drupal 4.x or 5.x
phpbb 2.x
Steps to install and integrate
* Enable clean urls in drupal: this requires the mod_rewrite module to be enabled in apache.
* In your drupal site, goto Administer->Site Configuration->Clean Urls->enable.
* Download the phpbb tarball from http://www.phpbb.com/downloads/ and place it in the drupal directory.
* Enable the menu item called “phpbb”.
Once you click on the phpbb link, it takes you to the phpbb index page where configuration is done. Give the same admin details as present for the drupal and site and make phpbb use the same database drupal is using.
