themes not working in production (s3 site) about blogdown HOT 3 CLOSED

@mwillumz,

I used the following AWS cloudformation template: https://github.com/alestic/aws-git-backed-static-website to deploy / push updates to AWS (including s3). This allows for a seamless deployment on AWS, including source, back-ups etc right from the comfort of Rstudio. I use the subdirectory plugin(https://github.com/alestic/aws-lambda-codepipeline-site-generator-subdirectory) so only the public folder is made public (source is pushed to code commit).

Perhaps this can be useful for you. Best.

Everything was indeed correct w/ blogdown. This seems to be an ongoing issue with s3tools.

FWIW this seems to be the fix:

library(blogdown)
new_site()
system("s3cmd sync --no-mime-magic --guess-mime-type public/ s3://mybucket")

from blogdown.

I think everything is correct on blogdown's side. The problem comes from the fact that your web server didn't return the correct MIME type for the css file. If you open the Developer Tools in Google Chrome, you will see this:

Resource interpreted as Stylesheet but transferred with MIME type text/plain: "http://www.willumz.com/css/main.min.css".

The MIME type should be text/css instead of text/plain. You can google for possible solutions. This is what I found from a quick search: http://stackoverflow.com/q/2618168/559676
