Hi Folks,
I managed to follow http://drupal.i1media.no/drupal+phpbb/install_module however I still cant get the user logged in phpbb3.0 after I logged in the drupal 5.7 page.
I am now at this point..
Create a new user and test
Go back to Drupal's frontpage and create a new user. Login as this user, the go to the forum. Check that the user is logged in, also after requesting several pages. If not, see the troubleshooting section.
Just to add, I have successfully created a user in the drupal page.
Your help is very much appreciated.
Thank you.

Not a problem
Hi Lex,
I am just done configuring my Drupal 5.3 and Phpbb3. You get that "superuser is never logged into phpBB" because, the admin account in Drupal and the admin user of phpbb (It is phpbb itself, mostly) will be having the same user id (uid). So when phpbb module of Drupal tries to insert this entry into phpbb database (Table = phpbb_users), it cant do it.
Getting this particular error is not a problem. Even I get it. I just dont use admin account of Drupal in phpbb. Create new users and it should work fine. If you have some existing users (not admin), you will not be able to login into your phpbb3 forum.
If that happens, I did a work around. I dont know the actual solution. I went through the table users in drupal database and changed all the user id from 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 - 10 to 501,502,503,504,505,506,507 - 510. This way, these ids dont conflict with that of phpbb. I dont know sql all that well, so I did it manually using phpbb.
It wont conflict with phpbb users too in the table,"phpbb_users", as you have used the UPDATE query and you have set it to start from 1000. (Check that website for the query)

If you want to use the same admin user
both in Drupal and in Phpbb,
- create a new user "Yourname" in Drupal (this will create it also in phpbb)
- log in as the drupal admin and modify that new user, making it an administrator
Now, Yourname should be the boss everywhere!
