[RuntimeException]/var/www/vendor does not exist and could not be created

Posted on September 4, 2020

Hello

I was following the tutorial : https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-set-up-laravel-with-docker-compose-on-ubuntu-20-04-fr

But when i try “docker-compose exec app composer install”. I have error :

[RuntimeException]/var/www/vendor does not exist and could not be created.

I try with sudo but doesn’t work. Any issue ?

thanks a lot

Hi @sylvainFish,

I can confirm I just followed the tutorial and managed to run the command you mentioned without a problem. Unfortunately, I can’t seem an exact reason behind the experienced issue. What I’ll recommend is just trying to follow the tutorial step by step from the beginning.

Your docker host needs to have the same user and id as you specify in docker-compose.yml (docker-compose.yml#L6. Once you fix that, remove all containers and recreate them. This will fix the errors.
