The above error shown in the laravel.log file which is located in storage/logs folder is specifying that a controller file named ‘ServerController.php’ doesn’t have a class named Server used or imported although it is already defined to be used in the script. The error is specified as follows :
[2017-02-12 16:03:17] local.ERROR: Symfony\Component\Debug\Exception\FatalThrowableError: Class 'App\Http\Controllers\Server' not found in /var/www/html/laravel-project/app/Http/Controllers/ServerController.php:23
Below is the content of the script named ‘ServerController.php’ which is normally exist in app/Http/Controllers folder :
class ServerController extends Controller
{
# use AuthorizesRequests, DispatchesJobs, ValidatesRequests;
/**
* Display listing of Server
*/
public function index(Request $request)
//public function index()
{
$list_server = Server::orderBy('id_server','DESC')->paginate(5);
return view('server.index',compact('list_server'))
->with('i', ($request->input('page',1) - 1) * 5);
}
As seen in the above snippet code of controller file named ‘ServerController’ there is a usage of a class named ‘Server’. Before it can be used, it must be stated or defined to be used. If it doesn’t defined for further usage and it cannot be located, off course it will generate error as follow :
Class 'App\Http\Controllers\Server'
By default, the class named ‘Server’ will be searched in the exact same location with the file which is using or importing the class file. Since the controller file named ‘ServerController.php’ is located in App/Http/Controllers, it is obvious that it will search the file in the same location, so it will generate an error specifies that ‘App\Http\Controllers\Server’ cannot be found. So, all we need is to find out where is the default location of the Mmdel file named ‘Server.php’. Basically, the model file named ‘Server.php’ is located in the ‘App’ folder whenever the model itself is created automatically using artisan tool.
