Fr13ndd Looks like vendor/autoload.php does not exist. You might need to run composer install in the Flarum folder... 🤔 Though if it was working before, not sure why it wouldn't be working now.

If you don't have permissions to read a file it will say that the file doesn't exist.

Consider running sudo chmod -R o+r /var/www/html to give read permissions to "others" until you find out how to properly configure permissions.

datitisev Aha! You're right, it's not in vendor folder. Somehow i have 2 folders in my root directory now vendor and vendor2 i think Bazaar plugin broke my stuff idk, but thank you for fast response

datitisev

Fr13ndd Bazaar makes vendor2 as a backup of vendor iirc. If composer install doesn't work, perhaps try to replace vendor with vendor2 🤔

datitisev Yessss i've done that, and it fixed it. please close the thread, thank you very much!!
