Answer 1

If you've copied example code from a module that actually used the autoload_classmap.php file, then you probably have something like this in your module.config.php file or somewhere in your Module.php file:

public function getAutoloaderConfig()
{
    return array(
        'Zend\Loader\ClassMapAutoloader' => array(  // THIS IS
            __DIR__ . '/autoload_classmap.php'      // THE PROBABLE
        ),                                          // CULPRIT
        'Zend\Loader\StandardAutoloader' => array(
            'namespaces' => array(
                __NAMESPACE__ => __DIR__ . '/src/' . __NAMESPACE__
            )
        )
    );
}

The solution? Either remove those lines of code - you are not required to have an autoloader classmap for each module - or actually create a classmap.

Answer 2

Create a file called autoload_classmap.php under zend_intro/module/Album and include this line of code:

return array();
