Moved server (centOS7) "Please ensure that $craftPath is set correctly"
So as it turns out Vesta has a funny way of handing httpd config files.
There was another one tucked away somewhere where "open_basedir"
They are kept in "/home/admin(username)/conf/web/httpd.conf"

Removing that fixed it.

Such a pain, tooks me hours to figure out something so simple.
I had already removed it from the httpd.conf in the default location.

Something to keep in mind if anyone has the error and is running VESTA CP!
