fatal error Varien_Autoload not found

Goodday everyone,

I installed magento with the sample data I refreshed the page and everything seemed to work. My complete shop was filled with sample data. A couple of minutes after I refreshed again and since then I keep getting this error:

PHP Fatal error: Class 'Varien_Autoload' not found in /var/www/vhosts/shop.cyberned.com/httpdocs/app/Mage.php on line 53

I double checked if Varien_Autoload exists and it is there in lib/Varien/Autoload.php

It looks like that file is not included for some reason but I would have no idea how to get that fixed. So my question is: how do I get this fixed?

sounds like your include_path isn't set up correctly. – Pekka
include_path .:/usr/share/pear:/usr/share/php so I guess that's ok? – MrSoundless
echo $PATH in console to find out what's in your path – Anton S

This error occurs because of the lib folder is not in the include_path. This may happen only if the COMPILER_INCLUDE_PATH constant is defined. Most likely this constant is defined in the includes/config.php file.

I have the same problem, I did following steps and now it is working :)

  1. Check Compilation mode is disabled or not in include/config.php file. if not then edit and make sure these two lines should be same as written below :- 

    #define('COMPILER_INCLUDE_PATH',dirname(__FILE__).DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'src');
#define('COMPILER_COLLECT_PATH',dirname(__FILE__).DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'stat');

  2. Flush magento cache Storage
    sudo rm -rf var/cache/*

  3. Set Correct Permission
    sudo chmod -R 755 *

  4. Restart the Webserver (apache/nginx)

  5. Now Verify.

Check out the permission problem, Mage.php may not have the right to load the class 'Varien_Autoload'. http://www.magentocommerce.com/wiki/groups/227/resetting_file_permissions
