If Coppermine and phpBB share the same database, then the MySQL host/database/user/password would be the same.  Whatever you used during the Coppermine installation should work for the bridge file.

ok, changed the user and password, now am getting a different error.

www.atvans.comphpbb_web_pathprofile.php could not be found. Please check the name and try again.

You didn't change the bridge file correctly.  Post what you changed.  Don't post your password.

look for PHPBB_WEB_PATH and set it to the path of your forum.

I had to give up on it as the whole database went down.
