Answer 1

It tries to reach some files on "public_html/vendor..." and vendor shouldn't be in the public_html under any circumstances.

1. upload everything from public to public_html
2. create a folder outside public_html (very important). Let's call it laravel_live.
3. upload everything from your laravel repository to laravel_live folder.
4. recreate symbolic links
5. go to public_html/index.php and update the paths based on your folder structure. In this example, they should be DIR . '/../laravel_live/vendor/...

Answer 2

Can you try " composer dump-autoload "?

I think that will help you.
