Symfony2 deploy failure vendor/autoload.php - php

Question

I have deployed a Symfony2 application to shared hosting server from local machine. I used a git pull followed by composer install and then i chmoded the app/cache and app/logs permissions to 777.
Each time I run the application I get the following error:
[2016-02-06 18:55:43] request.CRITICAL:
Uncaught PHP Exception Symfony\Component\Debug\Exception\FatalErrorException:
"Compile Error: require(): Failed opening required 'vendor/autoload.php'
(include_path='.:/opt/alt/php55/usr/share/pear:/opt/alt/php55/usr/share/php')" at
/home/tdarlic/public_html/magniblu/users/src/AppBundle/Controller/DefaultController.php line 5 {"exception":"[object]

er.php:5)"} []
I managed to fix this by entering full path to autoload.php:
require '/home/tdarlic/public_html/magniblu/users/vendor/autoload.php';
I tried with
../../../vendor/autoload.php
and with
../../vendor/autoload.php
require __DIR__.'../../vendor.autoload.php';
and still cannot figure out how to keep the autoload file link loading correctly on development machine and on the server.
Any ideas how to solve this?
