Answer 1

I'm not sure, sometimes it works, sometimes not...

But I upload:

• bootstrap/autoload.php
• vendor/autoload.php
• vendor/composer/*

And I don't have a bootstrap/compiled.php

Answer 2

In your case, you should add your needed autoload directory to the ClassLoader::addDirectories array under /app/start/global.php. Laravel gives multiple ways to accomplish the same thing depending on your personal needs.

Answer 3

You can remove or not upload the bootstrap/compiled.php file. I'm not sure if this completely fixes your problem, because I'm not sure if dump-autoload generates multiple files.

[edit]An other approach is to work on your local machine and upload after you are finished.
