Laravel Deployment

Question

I have a working Laravel application on my desktop. I am trying to deploy it to a godaddy server. The application has been copied and verified on the server in the same structure format as on my desktop. I have changed the database information in the config to the proper entries. When I run from the server I get the error:

FatalErrorException

Class 'name of the class' not found.

The error is generated in the Routes.php file. Again this app works locally, any idea why it errors when deployed?

Does it output exactly that or have you substituted "name of the class"? — akirk

Check 'name of the class' mainly small/capital letters - probably you have locally win OS and on server is Linux(case sensitive). Do not forget check model names in your definitions of relations(if you have relations)... — Lajdák Marek

Assuming you have a VPS server running Apache (or whatever else) with a a properly configured vhost and terminal (ssh) access, if you want deploy a Laravel app there, you surely need to

Copy all project files, except for the vendor directory, from localhost to your server
Verify file ownage and access rights (chown/chmod)
Change all necessary config
run a composer update
run php artisan migrate to create the database scheme
clear cache php artisan cache:clear

Next thing is populating the database with your apps data from localhost. You can either do it manually (dump sql local, import it on server), or if you want Laravel for it you can use Seeding (Laravel docs).

There even is a nice package that let's you automaticaly generete Seeders from your current database content - so it's very useful for the purpose of moving the app to another server.

Inverse seed generator (iSeed) is a Laravel 4 package that provides a method to generate a new seed file based on data from the existing database table.
