PHP Restler Server 500 Error

Question

I've installed restler using composer. I've set up a virtual host for it. I'm able to go to my localhost in my browser and it shows some informational pages but as soon as I try one of the APIs I get a server 500 error.

My PHP logs say:

Function    main
Error Type  E_ERROR
Source File /public/examples/_001_helloworld/index.php : 18
Error String    Class 'Luracast\Restler\Restler' not found

I'm using the example code straight out of the project. It looks like it has the require_once '../../../vendor/restler.php' and it seems to still have 500 errors.

I'm using PHP 5.4.16 on a Mac.

Update

Here are all of my logs:

It seems like it's trying to find the autoload class here: /Users/ChrisLondon/composer/autoload_classmap.php but the file is actually here: /Users/ChrisLondon/personal/SuperfyMe/vendor/composer/autoload_classmap.php

Answer 1

Solved my issue.

It turns out because I have a folder named composer/ that happens to be two folders up from where the Restler app sits it ruins the Restler autoloader. To solve the issue one needs to do one of the following:

1) Don't have any folder named composer/ two folders up from where the Restler app resides

2) Modify the Restler autoloader to skip the folder (at the time of this post you could comment out line 138 of /vendor/Luracast/Restler/Autoloader.php)

A more elegant solution has been proposed by me on GitHub:

By the time someone else finds this post hopefully the issue will be resolved in future versions of Restler.
