Hello I have just built my first Laravel 4 application and have had nightmares with the deployment process.

Currently I have my entire application done and working locally which is great but when I upload it to my server is where I run into problems.

I am on shared hosting so I had a symbolic link set to my public folder so that the web server root is correct.

Now when I try and access any page that tries to load any of the models that I have made I get a 

Symfony \ Component \ Debug \ Exception \ FatalErrorException
Class 'size' not found

Size is one of my models and on my local web server I am not having issues like this.

I tried doing a composer dump-autoload and composer dump-autoload -o and reuploaded the files but it has not changed anything.

I checked out this post Class Comment not found Laravel 4 which is the same issue I am having but it has not worked for me.

I have been trying to deploy my application for the past 3 days now and cannot figure it out so this has been very frustrating so any and all help is greatly appreciated!

    Seeing as how `size` is lowercase, I'm guessing that's the root of your problem. Model names are almost always StudlyCase. It's likely your web host is case sensitive, whereas your local environment is not. Be consistent! – Aken Roberts Mar 19 '14 at 00:57
  • Oh my god I cannot believe that was it. My model files were all StudlyCase but inside my files when I made associations between my models I had lowercase in there! What a relief it all works now. Thank you – ddelnano Mar 19 '14 at 01:01
