How to fix "Couldn't include '$autoload_path'. Did you run `composer install`?
By qoallen13
Hello Elgg family, I am working on developing a social media platform, with elgg. Now that I have created a droplet with Digital Ocean I now have a working IP address, and it is live because I see the apache default page when I put in the web address. I am now trying to add my elgg folder to my hosting account using file zilla to get the website online. But when I moved my elgg folder to the html folder under var.www/html I am seeing an exception error reading when I try to view it in the web browser
<?php
$autoload_path = __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';
$autoload_available = include_once($autoload_path);
if (!$autoload_available) {
die("Couldn't include '$autoload_path'. Did you run `composer install`?");
}
\Elgg\Application::index();
How can I fix this

You must log in to post replies.Are you seeing the PHP in your webbrowser? Then maybe PHP isn't installed/configured correcty.
If you only see the message 'Couldn't include '$autoload_path'. Did you run `composer install`?', then where did you get the installation files for Elgg. Here on the download page https://elgg.org/about/download or a direct download from GitHub?
Have a look at http://learn.elgg.org/en/stable/intro/install.html especially the troubleshooting part.
It looks like something is wrong with the files you copied. the index.php it trying to include a file /var/www/html/vendor/autoload.php which it can't find.
