title: Laravel error in /bootstrap/start.php: \Illuminate\Foundation\Application not found
body: <p>So, I installed Laravel on a dev server (php5.5.3, standard installation, mcrypt installed), and I get the following error message:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Fatal error: Class 'Illuminate\Foundation\Application' not found in /[path_to_laravel_app]/bootstrap/start.php on line 14
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Quite odd, and I haven't seen a solution to this file, although I've seen plenty of similar errors. Any advice welcome. Thanks!</p>
