I know that this issue has been posted many times, but for me it seems to be a different problem.
Indeed, this error
Warning: require(vendor/autoload.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\xampp\htdocs\site_web\send_mail.php on line 3
Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required 'vendor/autoload.php' (include_path='C:\xampp\php\PEAR') in C:\xampp\htdocs\site_web\send_mail.php on line 3
appears at the begining of my code from this line:
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
So, I guess there must be a /vendor/autoload.php file somewhere in my computer (I have installed composer and ran composer require phpmailer/phpmailer).
So, I looked for this file using: dir /s autoload.php in the Windows command line, and found one here: C:\Windows\SysWOW64\vendor\autoload.php,
but for me, syswow64 folder has nothing to see with autoload.php, I don't see what I am missing here.
What you're missing is running composer install, which will import your packages and create the vendor folder, along with the autoload script.
Make sure your relative path is correct. For example the example scripts in PHPMailer are in examples/, below the project root, so the correct relative path to load the composer autoloader from there would be ../vendor/autoload.php.
The autoload.php you found in C:\Windows\SysWOW64\vendor\autoload.php is probably a global composer installation – where you'll usually put things like phpcs, phpunit, phpmd etc.
composer update is not the same thing, and probably not what you want to use. If your code is tested with your current package versions then running update may cause breakages which may require further work and testing, so don't run update unless you have a specific reason to and understand exactly what it means. To clarify further – you should probably only ever run composer update locally, never on your server as it is reasonably likely to break apps in production.
I often see complaints that people can't use composer because they can't run it on their server (e.g. because it's shared and they have no shell access). In that case, you can still use composer: run it locally (an environment that has no such restrictions), and upload the local vendor folder it generates along with all your other PHP scripts.
Running composer update also performs a composer install, and if you do not currently have a vendor folder (normal if you have a fresh checkout of a project), then it will create one, and also overwrite any composer.lock file you already have, updating package versions tagged in it, and this is what is potentially dangerous.
Similarly, if you do not currently have a composer.lock file (e.g. if it was not committed to the project), then composer install also effectively performs a composer update. It's thus vital to understand the difference between the two as they are definitely not interchangeable.
It is also possible to update a single package by naming it, for example:
composer update ramsey/uuid
This will re-resolve the version specified in your composer.json and install it in your vendor folder, and update your composer.lock file to match. This is far less likely to cause problems than a general composer update if you just need a specific update to one package.
It is normal for libraries to not include a composer.lock file of their own; it's up to apps to fix versions, not the libraries they use. As a result, library developers are expected to maintain compatibility with a wider range of host environments than app developers need to. For example, a library might be compatible with Laravel 5, 6, 7, and 8, but an app using it might require Laravel 8 for other reasons.
Composer 2.0 removed any remaining inconsistencies between install and update results; if you're running composer 1.x you should definitely upgrade.
If you get the error also when you run
composer install
Just run this command first
composer dump-autoload
This command will clean up all compiled files and their paths.
#Bashir almost helped me but I needed:
composer update --no-scripts
Apparently this prevents any scripts from being included before executing artisan.
I found the answer here half-way down the page:

Proper autoload.php configuration:
A) Quick answer:
Your autoload.php path is wrong. ie. C:\Windows\SysWOW64\vendor\autoload.php
To date: you need to change it to: C:\Users\<Windows User Name>\vendor\autoload.php
B) Steps with example:
We will take facebook/php-graph-sdk as an example; change to Package Name as needed.
Install composer.exe
Open CMD Prompt. + R + type CMD
Run This command: composer require facebook/graph-sdk
Include path in your PHP page: require_once 'C:\Users\<Windows User Name>\vendor\autoload.php';
Define configuration Secrets and Access Token for your package...etc.
Happy codinig.
C) Further details:
Installing composer on windows will set this default path for your pacakges; you can find them there and include the autoloader path:
C:\Users\<Windows User Name>\vendor
For the same question you asked; the answer was this path for WAMP Server 64 BIT for Windows.
Then simply in your PHP Application change this:
require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';
To:
require_once 'C:\Users\<Windows User Name>\vendor\autoload.php';
Find your windows username under C:\Users\
Before all this, as pointed before in B) , you need to run this command:
composer require <package name>
for facebook php SDK for example:
composer require facebook/graph-sdk
Thank you for asking this question; appreciated as it helped me fix similar issue and ended writing this simple tutorial.
First make sure you have installed the composer.
composer install
If you already have installed then update the composer.
composer update
If you have cloned your project from Github or got it from somewhere else, you will encounter this error. That's because you are missing the vendor folder and other files. The vendor folder contains packages which are dependent to your project. The package dependencies are stored in composer.json file and the folder was excluded while pushing to Github.
Fix this error by simply running:
composer install
Then you will get all the assets needed for your project.
First, review route inside index.php
require __DIR__.'/../vendor/autoload.php';
$app = require_once __DIR__.'/../bootstrap/app.php';
in my case the route did not work, I had to review the directories.
For me
Just run this command first
composer dump-autoload
to add vendor folder.
then run this command
composer update --no-scripts
to update composer.
Create composer.json file with requisite library for ex:
{
"require": {
"mpdf/mpdf": "^6.1"
}
}
Execute the below command where composer.json exists:
composer install
In case of Drupal :
Use the web root folder of drupal to include autoload for ex:
define('DRUPAL_ROOT', getcwd());
require_once DRUPAL_ROOT . '/vendor/autoload.php';
In case of other systems:
Use the root folder variable or location to include the autoload.php
I had this path in my machine:
C:/xampp5.0/htdocs/project-recordando-symfony/project-recordando-symfony
Then I ran composer install or/and composer update and it returned this error:
ErrorException ZipArchive::extractTo...
That error is because your path is too much long, I changed to:
C:/xampp5.0/htdocs/p-symfony/*
and worked!
run composer update. That's it
I was able to resolve by removing composer and reinstalling the proper way. Here is what I did:
sudo apt remove composer
sudo apt autoclean && sudo apt autoremove
Installed globally with the instructions from: https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md
Download from: https://getcomposer.org/installer
global install: mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer
(Note: I had to move mine to mv composer.phar /usr/bin/composer)
I was then able to get composer install to work again. Found my answer at the bottom of this issue: https://github.com/composer/composer/issues/5510
In your project folder, the vendor folder is missing so you got this error:
Warning: require(vendor/autoload.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in
When you download the project through git, the project is downloaded without the vendor folder
You need /vendor because all your packages are there, including all the classes Laravel uses. The vendor directory contains your Composer dependencies.
The solution is simple, Just run this command:
composer update --no-scripts
composer update
composer update --no-scripts It will Skips execution of scripts defined in composer.json file.
composer update It will update your depencencies as they are specified in composer.json file.
With this command, you will re-create the vendor folder in your project and after that your project will start working normally.
This error occurs because of missing some files and the main reason is "Composer"
First Run these commands in CMD
php -r "copy('https://getcomposer.org/installer', 'composer-setup.php');"
php -r "if (hash_file('sha384', 'composer-setup.php') === 'e0012edf3e80b6978849f5eff0d4b4e4c79ff1609dd1e613307e16318854d24ae64f26d17af3ef0bf7cfb710ca74755a') { echo 'Installer verified'; } else { echo 'Installer corrupt'; unlink('composer-setup.php'); } echo PHP_EOL;"
php composer-setup.php
php -r "unlink('composer-setup.php');"
Then
Create a New project
Example:
D:/Laravel_Projects/New_Project
laravel new New_Project
After that start the server using
php artisan serve
In my case, It was due to the non-fully installation of the project, because I didn't have enough space on my hard disk
There will be a directory called "vendor" that needs to be in your root directory if you have a cloned repository and trying to set up that time this type of error occurring.
".gitingore" file has written code to not include vendor directory on GIT so after cloning GIT your project facing the issue of missing vendor directory.
Once you add vendor directory your project will start working again.
Change the auto_prepend_file property on php.ini

I have installed composer globally on ubuntu 14.04.
When I run composer --version
it works with the following output
Composer version 1.0-dev (45b1f356c24d87788a339f6a50d6d78bef464c47) 2015-02-27 14:31:27
But when I run the following command
composer update -vvv
It gives the following error
Failed to initialize global composer: Composer could not find the config file: /home/enamul/.composer/composer.json
To initialize a project, please create a composer.json file as described in the http://getcomposer.org/ "Getting Started" section
I have no idea, why this is happening. Can anyone help me with that.
Thanks
Just put an empty JSON object into your global config.
echo "{}" > ~/.composer/composer.json
Composer will merge this configuration with your project's composer.json when you run the install and update commands.
From the docs https://getcomposer.org/doc/03-cli.md#composer-home
To debug this, you should do on the command line:
cd /opt/lampp/htdocs/myproject
ls -al
cat composer.json
All these commands should show the expected thing. I'd expect the directory listing to show the composer.json file being present and having correct access rights for the user you are running as.
composer update
I have no idea why composer would ever fail, but from my experience it does a pretty good job doing what its supposed to do. Failure usually is caused by minor oversights of obvious things.
So, I installed Laravel on a dev server (php5.5.3, standard installation, mcrypt installed), and I get the following error message:
Fatal error: Class 'Illuminate\Foundation\Application' not found in /[path_to_laravel_app]/bootstrap/start.php on line 14
Quite odd, and I haven't seen a solution to this file, although I've seen plenty of similar errors. Any advice welcome. Thanks!
/bootstrap/start.php is created after composer install by running Laravel's php artisan optimize. I've had a lot of issues on this during upgrades of Laravel, but removing /bootstrap/start.php, composer.lock, and the vendor directory and re-running composer install should fix this issue.
Run this command:
composer update --no-scripts
In my case I have added another required package(Guzzle) in the compser.json file separately(in the last line but it should be after the laravel package line) and updated the compsoser and came across this issue.
I have checked and my vendor/laravel folder has gone. That was preventing me to run any artisian command.
So "--no-scripts" worked for me as it prevents any scripts to be included before executing artisan.
You can use another method in case you are having issues.
Install another raw laravel and copy all the files from the vendor
file to your old repostory.
Change permission of storage and bootstrap folder to 775 or 777.
Delete everything in the session and view folder of storage/framework
Correct the composer.json. This might happen after you have added a new package configuration by dublicating the require tag.
Do not create yet another
require: {
..
}
use the previous defined one.
Then follow the accepted answer to re-install the packages.
Just Run the command
composer install --no-scripts
Or,
composer update --no-scripts
Double check your composer.json file. If you have error on "require": section this error will occur.
Just restore a previous version of composer.json file and run composer update.
Today, I pulled down the laravel/laravel repository from Github. I then ran php composer.phar install (as I normally would on my system, with a command window in the project directory). However, when I ran php composer.phar update, I received this error:
Everything installed just fine, and Laravel works as it should.
Any ideas what could be causing this issue?
Edit 1
artisan exists in the root of the project, but it throws an exception when I attempt to run php artisan optimize:
Side Note 1
If I try the alternative method (quicker) of installing Laravel (php composer.phar create-project laravel/laravel), I get the following:
Edit 2
Upon installation, I also get the same error, where it claims it cannot find artisan. Therefore, the installation does not fully complete. I believe that it is stopping when it wants to compile classes (or something to that effect), and then write bootstrap/compiled.php. That file doesn't exist.
Here's the snap from the install:
Edit 3
It seems that Composer is looking for artisan in the drive root (C:\). Why is it doing this? Even if I specify -d on the update, it throws the error. (I picked this up from a hunch - simply copied artisan to the root of the drive and it found it - albeit, it obviously did not run...)
Solution Found:
Composer makes calls to php artisan <command> (as per the instruction in composer.json > scripts), but it does not see what directory it is running from (perhaps because it is an external command?).
So, I solved my initial problem by using an absolute path to artisan in composer.json.
Everything is working now. I just wish I knew how to get Composer to know that it is running from C:\LocalServer\lab\laravel, and not just C:\.
As i can see, your artisan file is missing. Can you post the exact steps on how you install it ?
Also, please follow http://laravel.com/docs/installation and http://niallobrien.me/2013/03/installing-and-updating-laravel-4/
I had this problem today too. My laravel folder inside the vendor was deleted after composer update. I ran composer install again and problem resolved.
