The only +requirement is that the installer must have write permissions to the directory +where the database file resides. This directory (not just the database file) also +has to remain writeable by the web server going forward for SQLite to continue to +be able to operate. + +On the "Database configuration" form in the "Database file" field, you must +supply the exact path to where you wish your database file to reside. It is +strongly suggested that you choose a path that is outside of the webroot, yet +ensure that the directory is writeable by the web server. + +If you must place your database file in your webroot, you could try using the +following in your "Database file" field: + + sites/default/files/.ht.sqlite + +Note: The .ht in the name will tell Apache to prevent the database from being +downloaded. Please check that the file is, indeed, protected by your webserver. +If not, please consult the documentation of your webserver on how to protect a +file from downloading.
