>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.
