The following code doesn't work on my Workstation

The following code doesn't work on my Workstation.

I use Linux and code from Composer Website doesn't work on my local web server. Can you explain why?

// To avoid stupid questions: I have installed web server, php and also composer

Looking forward for your answers. Thanks in advance.

Sergey

composer.json is: 

{
    "name": "sergey/php-website",
    "authors": [
        {
            "name": "Sergey Podgornyy",
            "email": "example@example.com"
        }
    ],
    "require": {
        "monolog/monolog": "^1.17"
    }
}

index.php is: 

<?php
require 'vendor/autoload.php';

$log = new Monolog\Logger('name');
$log->pushHandler(new Monolog\Handler\StreamHandler('app.log', Monolog\Logger::WARNING));
$log->addWarning('Foo');

echo "Hello World";

chmod 777 fixed this problem. Maybe someone know how to add composer to a group? Because right now everyone have permission to write (and create/delete any files) on my website folder.

I think it also possible to change owner or owner group. Or I found out that sometimes composer can be installed on wrong way
