Laravel error in /bootstrap/start.php: \Illuminate\Foundation\Application not found

Question

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 \'Illumina         


        

Answer 1

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.
