laravel not class found in deployment server

Question

I have a Laravel 4 application working fine on my local machine. I've cloned it onto my VPS. When I run composer install or composer update, I get errors that "class not found". I've checked vendor/composer/autoload_classmap.php and my classes are there. The class is located in the standard app/models/. I removed some code, which finally allowed the composer to update. However none of my custom classes all located inside app/models are being loaded. Any ideas what's going on? Thanks.

Local: php version 5.5.10 VPS: php version 5.5.9

Edit: Included error log

[2014-10-23 02:50:37] production.ERROR: exception 'Symfony\Component\Debug\Exception\FatalErrorException' with message 'Class 'Role' not found' in ../app/routes.php:214
Stack trace:
#0 [internal function]: Illuminate\Exception\Handler->handleShutdown()
#1 {main} [] []

Role.php is located in app/models/

Edit2: Added route

Route::group(array('before' => 'auth.admin'), function() {

    $roles  = new Role();

    Route::get('/help', array(
        'as' => 'help',
        'uses' => 'HelpController@getHelp'
    ));
}

This isn't the full route, but that's essential it. Everything works fine on local machine also.

Can you provide your routes.php? This seems like a namespacing-issue. — rdiz

Everything do seem fine; does composer update and composer dumpautoload complete without errors? — rdiz

Check that your Role class is inside the Role.php file. If you develop on Windows machine, the file name is case insensible while your Linux VPS cares the differences between Role.php and role.php — Hieu Le

composer complained about the same error. I commented out the $roles = new Role() and the composer was able to run. Then when I load the page, I get that error in the error log. — Edd

I found the problem with the help of others. MY VPS did not support short tags. My Role.php began with <?. I corrected it with <?php and everything works.
