Having problem with installing Craft I am trying to install Craft on my server and I've hit a snug which I can't overcome, because I am just not that technically proficient. 

I think I've followed all of the instructions on the Craft website to a t, however when I tried to get to the admin panel, I get the following error:

Could not find your craft/ folder. Please ensure that $craftPath is set correctly in /home/toaeroplano/public_html/index.php

I did some Googling on that and I found out that this might be an issue with open_basedir permissions. 

So I went to my php.ini file and I saw that this was edited out. Like this:

; open_basedir, if set, limits all file operations to the defined directory
; and below.  This directive makes most sense if used in a per-directory
; or per-virtualhost web server configuration file. This directive is
; *NOT* affected by whether Safe Mode is turned On or Off.
;open_basedir =


So I changed it to: 

open_basedir = ON (and took the ; off)


So now I get a "No input file specified." message. 

What can I do? Like I said, this is far from being my area of expertise.

Thank you
It's likely your /craft directory couldn't be found. Out of the box, Craft expects it's /craft directory to be located just outside the root directory of the website. So by the looks of it from your path, your index.php file is located here:

/home/toaeroplano/public_html/


So that would mean you /craft directory should be located here:

/home/toaeroplano/


If I were you I'd put the php.ini settings back to what they were so you get the original error, then make sure you've copied the /craft directory from the installation into the directory above. If you want your /craft directory somewhere else you need to edit the index.php and specify where the directory lives. So edit this line in index.php:

$craftPath = '../craft'; 


The .. in the path just means the directory above, so if you wanted it to live in the /home directory, you change it to this:

$craftPath = '../../craft';


EDIT: Also make sure the permissions on the /craft/app/, craft/config/ and craft/storage/ are set as per the install docs.
