Laravel 4 pretty urls - laravel

Question

Ok I was working on a project using laravel 4. I never bothered setting up vhosts for pretty urls. I was just using localhost/myapp/public...
Everything was working fine. Now I have decided to set up vhosts. And I'm getting the following error when $user->save(); is called:
ReflectionException
Class confide.repository does not exist.
Auto-loading is not working why??
What am I forgetting??
Here is my vhost.conf set up:
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.6>
DocumentRoot "C:\xampp\htdocs\myapp\public"
ServerName myapp.dev
<Directory "C:\xampp\htdocs\myapp\public">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
And my hosts setup:
127.0.0.6 myapp.dev
UPDATE: when I configure vhosts with: ServerName myapp instead of ServerName myapp.dev
It works great, however I want the .dev so that that I can use facebooks api.
Any help greatly appreciated.

I see you're on a Windows machine.
VHosts (Windows) related:
I'm using vhosts myself. Here's a copy of what I'm using in my WAMP Environment:
# Virtual Hosts Settings
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName appdomain.local
DocumentRoot "D:/Program Files/wamp/www/appname"
ErrorLog "D:/Program Files/wamp/www/appname/server_logs/errors.log"
TransferLog "D:/Program Files/wamp/www/appname/server_logs/access.log"
</VirtualHost>
…and in the hosts file I use:
127.0.0.1 appdomain.local
Try these settings and see if it works.
BTW.: Why are you using 127.0.0.6? Localhost is equal to 127.0.0.1... To use another IP some other settings need to be set / adjusted in Windows.

Have you checked the User model and composer.json file?
Did you follow the necessary installation instructions on https://github.com/Zizaco/confide#quick-start ?
Double check that.
Also look at this: https://github.com/Zizaco/confide/issues/9
About my App/Config/app.php config file:
I've setup a "production" and "local" app config. The main differences for the local version are:
- debug => true (production => false)
- url => THE_APP_LOCAL_DOMAIN (production => THE_APP_DOMAIN)
Everything else is set in the production config.
Providers example:
'providers' => array(
'Illuminate\Foundation\Providers\ArtisanServiceProvider',
'Illuminate\Auth\AuthServiceProvider',
...,
),
Aliases example:
'aliases' => array(
'App' => 'Illuminate\Support\Facades\App',
'Carbon' => 'Carbon\Carbon',
...,
),
I always update the autoload (> composer dump-autoload) on:
namespace changes
composer.json edits
composer updates (e.g. after adding a new package from like packagist)
and config changes, just to be save
Also try the following commands: (don't forget to cd to the project directory first)
composer dump-autoload
php artisan dump-autoload
php artisan cache:clear
