Fatal error class not found on AWS Beanstalk

Question

My Laravel 3.2.14 application works locally. When I upload it to my server I get this:

-------------------------------------
/var/log/httpd/error_log

Is this a problem with my composer autoload file? I get no other inclination of what's happening. I've been working on this for two days and not sure where to go from here :/

Can we have more informations on how you upload your project on the server ? FTP ? Git pull ? — Tseho, May 06 '14 at 15:13
@tseho I run `git aws.push` which uploads my changes to AWS. — Michael J. Calkins, May 06 '14 at 15:14
I don't know Laravel but most of the time, when you use composer, there is a .gitignore file which ignore your vendors. So, if you push, git will ignore all the files in vendors. This is why you have this error. — Tseho, May 06 '14 at 15:18
I just read that AWS Beanstalk has Composer. You should try this to install composer dependencies : http://stackoverflow.com/a/17528576/1671377 And you must NOT add vendors/ to your .gitignore. — Tseho, May 06 '14 at 15:24
@Tseho Thank you! That did it. I don't understand though I've had vendor/ in my `.gitignore` for a long time and recently had reinit my local git repo and then it does this? — Michael J. Calkins, May 06 '14 at 15:41

I know the comments below your question have told you take vendor/ out of your .gitignore, but that isn't normal practice. Elastic Beanstalk for PHP actually supports Composer and will automatically run composer install on your project when you are pushing a new version.

For this to work, the root of your repo should be the root of the app. You should also have composer.json and composer.lock files enabled by your .gitignore so that when they are pushed, EB knows to download and install your packages.

I didn't say to take `vendor/` out of the .gitignore. I was explaining why the vendor were not pushed with the rest of the application. And I find after what to do. – Tseho May 07 '14 at 09:07
Yeah, it wasn't being pushed with the rest of the application because it was in the `.gitignore`. However, EB will run Composer for you, so it's better to just push up your `composer.lock` (which has all the dependencies locked at the version you're working on) and the same environment will be installed for you. – Dwight May 08 '14 at 00:53

Your vendor/ files are not included when you push to AWS Beanstalk because they're ignored by your .gitignore file.

You need to include in your git project your composer.json and composer.lock to send them on AWS Beanstalk on each update.

You can run composer to install the dependencies with a configuration like explained here : https://stackoverflow.com/a/17528576/1671377

On a side not I also needed to add a environment variable called PHP_COMPOSER_OPTIONS with a value of --no-dev and then it worked perfectly. – Michael J. Calkins May 07 '14 at 17:51
Also I had to change a folder from `cache/` > `/cache` in my gitignore. – Michael J. Calkins May 07 '14 at 17:55
