The Socket on My Rocket Won't Sproket

[Komodo_Tale]

I am getting the following error:

Warning: socket_create() Unable to create socket [1]: Operation not permitted in /webroot/s/e/seocr001/www/CS.php on line 27

for

$socket = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_RAW, 1);

on a hosted domain.

How can this be fixed?
Is this something I can correct through my php.ini
Is there a workaround?

Thank you

The operating system either doesn't understand you, or is denying you permission to create that type of socket.

What kind of communication are you trying to do? TCP, UDP, or ICMP?
