>From what you've said so far I'm assuming you are trying to install
Habari using SQLite as your database backend. I don't know how PDO
works internally, but an SQLite database is simply another file on
your server's filesystem, so PDO may use the socket functions to
implement the functionality needed to use SQLite. This would explain
the error you are receiving, since if you have chosen SQLite as your
backend, the installer checks to see if you have write access to the
directory where the database will be stored right after creating
the .htaccess file. Habari assumes that if PDO SQLite is enabled, the
necessary functionality is also enabled on the server to allow SQLite
databases to be used.

It seems odd that a host would enable PDO SQLite without enabling the
functionality to make it actually work, but hosts do strange things
sometimes. You can check your phpinfo(). In the configure command at
the top it should include --enable-sockets for the socket functions to
work.

If your host has PDO MySQL enabled, I would try to install Habari with
a MySQL database backend instead of SQLite.
