You should search - how to move portal.php out of forum directory.

Make a copy of /forum/portal.php to the htdocs directory.

Edit the /htdocs/portal.php and change - this line :
$phpbb_root_path = (defined('PHPBB_ROOT_PATH')) ? PHPBB_ROOT_PATH : './';

so it points to the forum directory, in my case to /forum :
$phpbb_root_path = (defined('PHPBB_ROOT_PATH')) ? PHPBB_ROOT_PATH : './forum';

now copy .htaccess from the /forum to htdocs and check that it has :
DirectoryIndex portal.php index.php index.html index.htm

in the /forum edit .htaccess and change DirectoryIndex line to :
DirectoryIndex index.php portal.php index.html index.htm

This way under /forum it doesnt default to portal, but opens forum index.
