Moved Laravel dir to root of server now composer update fails

Question

I wanted the Laravel 4.1 package to be at the root of a particular web server so I took it out of it's "laravel" dir and moved it.

Used to be in: C:\www\mysite.dev\laravel

Now it is in: C:\www\mysite.dev

When I run composer update it chokes producing the error:

{"error":{"type":"ErrorException","message":"mkdir(): No such file or directory","file":"C:\\www\\mysite.dev\\vendor\\laravel\\framework\\src\\Illuminate\\Filesystem\\Filesystem.php","line":302}}

How can I configure composer.json to compensate for this change?

Answer 1

It seems like problem with permissions.

Line 302 of Filesystem.php is the following (in bold):

public function makeDirectory($path, $mode = 0777, $recursive = false, $force = false) { if ($force) { return @mkdir($path, $mode, $recursive); } else { 302 return mkdir($path, $mode, $recursive); } }
