Hi Neo,

How about this input file (please consider the questions I have inserted):

 start oh-dat
echo
geometry
zmat
o
h 1 r1
variables
# Substitute different values to change the bond distance
# and calculate energies for your potential energy surface.
r1 10.0
end
end
basis
* library aug-cc-pvdz
end

# Oxygen atom is a triplet and Hydrogen atom is a doublet
# What do you want your O-H system to be? Is it a doublet or a quartet?
# I have selected a quartet here.
mult 4
xc pbe96
end
# What about long range interactions such as dispersion (regular DFT
# does not describe that well)?
# Is that important for your problem?

Good luck, Huub
