Autoload Error: No such file or directory

Question

I have included autoload.php in the header of my site

include 'vendor/autoload.php'; 

From this i am receiving the following errors on my site:

Warning: require_once(DIR/composer/autoload_real.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /homepages/6/d416629391/htdocs/leftovercheese/vendor/autoload.php on line 5

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'DIR/composer/autoload_real.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php5') in /homepages/6/d416629391/htdocs/leftovercheese/vendor/autoload.php on line 5

My code is:

// autoload.php generated by Composer

require_once __DIR__ . '/composer' . '/autoload_real.php';

return ComposerAutoloaderInit8be239f5caef32db03f87bb271ed6012::getLoader();

PHP Version: 5.2.17

Any ideas?

Answer 1

run composer install

That will import your packages and create the vendor folder as well as the autoload script. Also, make sure your relative path is correct.
