I am getting following error when I open my site which is made using laravel 5
Fatal error: Class 'Illuminate\Foundation\Application' not found in C:\cms\bootstrap\app.php on line 14
I have tried removing vendor folder and composer.lock
file and running composer install it's not working I tried running PHP artisan optimize but it shows error
Fatal error: Class'Illuminate\Foundation\Application' not found
Is there any way to solve this problem?
Edited:
This problem aroused as soon as I used the php artisan make:model Page
command which did create the model but then the above error gets displayed when I access the site
Also If use the Larvel's Local Development Server no such problem arises only if I use wamp server
In my case composer was not installed in that directory. So I run
composer install
then error resolved.
or you can try
composer update --no-scripts
cd bootstrap/cache/->rm -rf *.php
composer dump-autoload
Easy as this, that worked for my project
composer install
php artisan serve
please test below solution:
first open command prompt cmd ==> window+r
and go to the location where laravel installed.
try composer require laravel/laravel
I can't imagine that anyone else reading this is a stupid as I was but just in case... I had accidentally removed "laravel/framework": "^5.6" from my composer.json when resolving merge conflicts.
In my situation, I didn't have the full vendor dependencies in place (composer file was messed up during original install) - so running any artisan commands caused a failure.
I was able to use the --no-scripts
flag to prevent artisan from executing before it was included. Once my dependencies were in place, everything worked as expected.
composer update --no-scripts
For latest laravel version also check your version because I was also facing this error but after update latest php version, I got rid from this error.
Something is clearly corrupt in your Laravel setup and it is very hard to track without more info about your environment. Usually these 2 commands help you resolve such issues
php artisan clear-compiled
composer dump-autoload
If nothing else helps then I recommend you to install fresh Laravel 5 app and copy your application logic over, it should take around 15 min or so.
I had accidentally commented out:
require __DIR__.'/../bootstrap/autoload.php';
in /public/index.php
When pasting in some debugging statements.
I just fixed this problem (Different Case with same error),
The answer above I tried may not work because My case were different but produced the same error.
I think my vendor libraries were jumbled,
I get this error by:
1. Pull from remote git, master branch is codeigniter then I do composer update on master branch, I wanted to work on laravel branch then I checkout and do composer update so I get the error,
Fatal error: Class 'Illuminate\Foundation\Application' not found in C:\cms\bootstrap\app.php on line 14
Solution: I delete the project on local and do a clone again, after that I checkout to my laravel file work's branch and do composer update then it is fixed.
Just in case I trip over this error in 2 weeks again... My case: Checkout an existing project via git and pull in all dependencies via composer. Came down to the same error listed within the title of this post.
Solution:
composer dump-autoload
composer install --no-scripts
make sure everything works now as expected (no errors!)
composer update
i was having same problem with this error. It turn out my Kenel.php is having a wrong syntax when i try to comply with wrong php8 syntax
The line should be
protected $commands = [
//
];
instead of
protected array $commands = [
//
];
