Hello,

This is not a bug. You did a wrong update procedure as the system is reporting missing files in the app/vendor directory, which is where the app stores the system dependencies. It won't work if that directory has been tempered or altered.

If you carried the update via the application itself, then the problem is your web server caching the old application files and missing caching the new files. Ask your server administrator.

In any case, you need to re-provision all the application files.

I understand what you want to say but i think that is not a case.
Because on other of mine two domains not have that issue at all.
After upgrading from admin panel those two domains run normal without issue.

The 4.3.7 package does include the files you mentioned, so the issue most likely occurred during the update process on your system. When Chevereto is running in root mode, the application filesystem is completely under your control, which means the update tool can fail if ownership or permissions aren't properly configured. It can also fail if your server has a very aggressive PHP caching policy, which causes PHP to don't reflect the most recent status of the filesystem.

You can fix this by manually placing the missing files in their respective locations and verifying that the filesystem permissions match the rest of the installation.

If you want to avoid this kind of issues in the future I strongly recommend to consider running Chevereto as a Container.
