Please fallow the fallowing steps for successful installation of phpbbforum.

you have to install PHPBB3 forum which you can get it from http://www.phpbb.com/downloads/ before you install phpbbforum drupal module

Installation process

1 Installed Drupal
2 Installed PHPBB3 forum
3 Installed phpBBforum drupal module
4 Activated the module
5 copied the functions_user file to foruminstallation/includes/
6 set phpbb settings under the Drupal admin
7 copy common.css if using prosilver theme else if using subsilver theme copy the icons to theme folder of forum.
8.change the iframe source in phpbbforum.module (Optional)
9. clear the cache

There are the steps i fallowed for the successful installation.

The error shows that your phpbb3 is not installed properly. try to check if standalone version is working properly.

for ex in your local system (Windows) your drupal installation is drupal5

you have installed phpbb3 in drupal5 directory. the url will look like this. http://localhost/drupal5/phpbb3 and check if phpbb3 working properly. if not try to clear config.php.

install phpbb3 again check the standalone version working properly. once you confirmed the standalone version working properly. then you work on other steps to configure phpbbforum drupal module.

There is no problem with your FireflySteam.com theme.
