Install Laravel Framework on cPanel VPS

Question

Laravel seems to be a great framework to take advantage of, but it's raising hell to install properly.

Apparently I followed all the directions properly and it's installed just fine, but when it comes to an autoloader, it won't do anything.

Warning: require(/home/mywumbo/public_html/testing/Laravel-and-Angular-Goodness-master/bootstrap/../vendor/autoload.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/mywumbo/public_html/testing/Laravel-and-Angular-Goodness-master/bootstrap/autoload.php on line 17

Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required '/home/mywumbo/public_html/testing/Laravel-and-Angular-Goodness-master/bootstrap/../vendor/autoload.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/mywumbo/public_html/testing/Laravel-and-Angular-Goodness-master/bootstrap/autoload.php on line 17

This is what I see

This is what I see when I list what's in my laravel directory.

So, is it a directory issue? I'm testing it under a /testing/ directory, is that my issue?

You need to execute:

composer install

Or

sudo composer install

Or, if you don't have access to your box via command line (SSH?), you will have to copy the whole vendor folder via FTP or any file copy utility you are able to use with your server.

To check if you have a vendor folder, execute:

ls -la /home/mywumbo/public_html/testing/Laravel-and-Angular-Goodness-master/

You should see something like

drwxrwsr-x  6 mywumbo mywumbo    16 Feb 26 09:37 ./
drwxrwsr-x 12 mywumbo mywumbo    14 Feb 26 09:37 app/
-rw-rw-r--  1 mywumbo mywumbo  2451 Feb 26 09:37 artisan
drwxrwsr-x  2 mywumbo mywumbo     5 Feb 26 09:37 bootstrap/
-rw-rw-r--  1 mywumbo mywumbo   697 Feb 26 09:37 composer.json
-rw-rw-r--  1 mywumbo mywumbo 56230 Feb 26 09:37 composer.lock
-rw-rw-r--  1 mywumbo mywumbo   145 Feb 26 09:37 CONTRIBUTING.md
-rw-rw-r--  1 mywumbo mywumbo    11 Feb 26 09:37 .gitattributes
-rw-rw-r--  1 mywumbo mywumbo   103 Feb 26 09:37 .gitignore
-rw-rw-r--  1 mywumbo mywumbo   566 Feb 26 09:37 phpunit.xml
drwxrwsr-x  3 mywumbo mywumbo     8 Feb 26 09:37 public/
-rw-rw-r--  1 mywumbo mywumbo  1913 Feb 26 09:37 readme.md
-rw-rw-r--  1 mywumbo mywumbo   519 Feb 26 09:37 server.php
drwxrwsr-x 20 mywumbo mywumbo    21 Feb 26 09:37 vendor/

Last one, is your vendor folder, inside it there should have a autoload.php file, which is missing in the error:

Warning: require(/home/mywumbo/public_html/testing/Laravel-and-Angular-Goodness-master/bootstrap/../vendor/autoload.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/mywumbo/public_html/testing/Laravel-and-Angular-Goodness-master/bootstrap/autoload.php on line 17
