Tried to use "composer dump-autoload" and clear cache on server, those didn't work. What am I missing here?

CodePudding user response：

May be your class in production was updated or is a symbolic linked and forgotten referenced on the root folder of your server http. On linux look like this:

ln -s to your local folder ...App/Classes/Auth/Signup  /var/www/html/site_folder/...
