Hi. I got this fatal error when previewing:
Fatal error: Class 'Slim\Views\Twig' not found in /home/treehouse/workspace/index.php on line 11
Here's my index.php:
<?php
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
date_default_timezone_set("Europe/London");
//$log = new Logger('name');
//$log->pushHandler(new StreamHandler('app.txt', Monolog\Logger::WARNING));
//$log->addWarning('Oh No.');
$app = new \Slim\Slim( array(
'view' => new \Slim\Views\Twig()
));
$view = $app->view();
$view->parserOptions = array(
'debug' => true,
);
$view->parserExtensions = array(
new \Slim\Views\TwigExtension(),
);
$app->get("/", function() use($app) {
$app->render("about.twig");
});
$app->get("/contact", function() use($app) {
$app->render("contact.html");
});
$app->run();
?>
Here's a snapshot:
Thanks in advance for any help. :)

Courses Plus Student 94,610 PointsHi Sean,
It looks like you missed a few steps in earlier videos which had you include the 'twig/twig' and 'slim/views' packages into your projects.
I would review the following 2 videos around the 2:00 mark where you enter some console commands for composer.
adding twig/twig:
https://teamtreehouse.com/library/building-websites-with-php/slim-basics-twig-templates/installing-twig
adding slim/views:
https://teamtreehouse.com/library/building-websites-with-php/slim-basics-twig-templates/views-twig-inside-of-slim
I forked your workspace and then added in those packages. At that point I had a slim application error having to do with about.twig
I put quotes around main.twig and I was able to see the web page at that point.
{% extends "main.twig" %}
I don't know if you're missing other things but the page is at least loading for me when I do those steps.

$view->parserOptions = array(
'debug' => true // without comma at the end
);
$view->parserExtensions = array(
new \Slim\Views\TwigExtension() // without comma at the end
);
Hope this will help

33,235 PointsHi Sergey. Thanks for your help. I've given you an up vote for your support, but unfortunately I'm still getting the same error message I had before. I'd be grateful for further help if that's okay, whoever it's from. Sean :-)

20,660 PointsCheck also your .htaccess file.
Also you can check code in my project, which works properly - https://github.com/SergeyPodgornyy/Treehouse-PHP_Website

Try to write
require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';
instead of
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
If this will not help, try on local machine. Perfect for this purpose is Linux.
