Is there any way at all to have my currently running phpbb3 and coppermine installations bridged, with users and data? I am running latest versions of both.
Run the bridge manager to do that! Please read the documentation before.

A little thinking solved the issue the correct way is as follows
Coppermine install: http://childartindia.org/home/childart/public_html\coppermine
Bridging app install: ..\
Sorry by mistake the above reply was intended to be put in a thread stated by me about Bridging coppermine with joomla and since their seems to be no way of modifing the same. Sorry once again
