Hey everyone,
I'm having trouble with my PHP project in XAMPP. When I try to run it, I get this error:
Warning: Failed to open stream: No such file or directory
Fatal error: Failed opening required file
It's looking for the autoload.php file in my vendor folder, but can't find it. The error happens in my bootstrap.php file on this line:
require VENDOR . 'autoload.php';
I've double-checked the path, but it still doesn't work. Any ideas what might be causing this? I'm pretty new to PHP, so I'm not sure what I'm missing. Thanks for any help!
Hey Leo_Speedster! Sounds like you’re hitting a roadblock there. Have you considered checking your composer.json file? Sometimes the issue can be hiding in there. Also, I’m curious - are you using any specific frameworks or libraries in your project? That could affect how the autoloading is set up. Oh, and quick question - have you tried running ‘composer dump-autoload’ in your project directory? It’s helped me out of similar jams before. Let us know if any of these ideas help or if you need more brainstorming!
Yo, i had this issue too. check if u actually ran composer install in ur project folder. sometimes it gets skipped n the vendor folder doesn’t get created. also double check ur VENDOR constant is pointing to the right place. if that don’t work, try deleting vendor folder n running composer install again. good luck!
It appears that the error might be caused by a missing Composer setup. Make sure that Composer is installed, and if not, download it from the official site.
Navigate to your project’s root directory in the command line and run the install command so that the vendor folder and autoload.php are generated.
Also, verify that the VENDOR constant in your bootstrap file correctly points to the directory where the vendor folder is located. This approach should resolve the issue with autoload.php.
