Which flavour/distribution of linux do you use? How have you deployed php on your machine? – VolkerK Aug 27 '12 at 11:02

Also after every change in the ini close and start the server again – MayTheSchwartzBeWithYou Aug 27 '12 at 11:09

As you have installed php5 libapache2-mod-php5, according to it.
The following extensions are built in: bcmath bz2 calendar Core ctype date dba dom ereg exif fileinfo filter ftp gettext hash iconv json libxml mbstring mhash openssl pcre Phar posix Reflection session shmop SimpleXML soap sockets SPL standard sysvmsg sysvsem sysvshm tokenizer wddx xml xmlreader xmlwriter zip zlib.

It does not need external module. check phpinfo() result to see if PHP compiled with --enable-sockets or not! (if you installed it using apt-get or software center of Ubuntu, It must be ok yet!)

1Yes, accorindg to php5_5.3.10-1ubuntu3.2.diff from http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/php/php5 the php core is compiled with `--enable-sockets` -> sockets module should be "within" the php core. – VolkerK Aug 27 '12 at 11:47
