Fatal error Class Illuminate Foundation Application not found

Question

I am getting following error when I open my site which is made using laravel 5

Fatal error: Class 'Illuminate\Foundation\Application' not found in C:\cms\bootstrap\app.php on line 14

I have tried removing vendor folder and composer.lock file and running composer install it's not working I tried running PHP artisan optimize but it shows error

Fatal error: Class'Illuminate\Foundation\Application' not found

Is there any way to solve this problem?

Hello @kartik,

Something is clearly corrupt in your Laravel setup and it is very hard to track without more info about your environment. Usually these 2 commands help you resolve such issues

php artisan clear-compiled
composer dump-autoload

If nothing else helps then I recommend you to install fresh Laravel 5 app and copy your application logic over, it should take around 15 min or so.
