I accidentally deleted the vendor folder in my Magento 2 installation and I'm getting an autoload error and I also noticed that the env file is missing, is there any way to solve the problem ? I also read that I can do composer install but will that affect my data ?

Thanks.

composer install will recreate the vendor folder only. To recreate the .env file (app/etc/env.php) you'll need to reinstall Magento.

vendor folder is just a deployment folder that comes from the commmand composer install.

I assume composer is installed on your machine, open a terminal and from the root of your Magento site, run composer install. Then your site should be back up as normal.

  • I ran the command as you said but instead I'm now getting a 500 error, any ideas ? Thank you so much by the way. – Varulv Jul 17 '20 at 18:04
  • 500 is a server error: you should see in either magento log or your webserver log, what the error details is – Herve Tribouilloy Jul 17 '20 at 18:08
  • Just a permission error :) fixed. Thank you again – Varulv Jul 17 '20 at 18:22
