I searched but couldnt find the answer to my question.
My site structure is like this
www.gamersden.in (durpal)
www.gamersden,in/forum ( phpbb3)

ii enabled the drupal forum module,but really cant find any option to edit the forum path.
by default it is taking
www.gamersden.in/forum
and trying to override the phpbb3.
is there any way i can change the path to drupal forum?

you can try to alter that path using a url alias.

administer -> url aliases

I don't l know off hand if it will work as you expect. Drupal doesn't expect 2 different forums running on the same site and the forum module AFAIK, expects to be running at /forum/ even if the path is aliased. That said, you may have to find a way to do something in the PHPBB module in use or file an issue there.

I also need to find out if / how to run more than one forum on a website. I'm building a site for a school, and there's a number of different levels and facets: students, staff, Parent Advisory and other Committees, Projects. Each of those could see forums established, and throwing them all into one arena doesn't make sense.

Can this be done in Drupal?

If you want separated forums in that regard you either use access control via contrib modules or investogate the og.module with og_forums.module and allow "groups" on your site.

Everyone goes to the same forum page but depending on the rights granted by taxonomy access control lite (or whichever taxonomy access module you use, that was the best one for my purposes), different users see different forums.

I have the same issue with Drupal 7 RC3. Since I am migrating the forum, I would like the new forum to point to /forum-test/ instead of /florum/. Anything new since 2008?

pathauto and vbo modules would allow you to change the paths of all forum nodes.
