Question

I’ve been trying to set up a static website on Amazon S3. I’ve got things set up to use my personal domain, and so far I’ve been able to access the content just fine. All the links work, both for pages in the “root” directory and pages in subfolders, so it seems that S3 can follow the paths I’m using.

The problem is that none of the CSS stylings is being applied to the pages (it works fine on the development server on my local machine). I’ve tried using relative and absolute paths, but this doesn’t seem to be the problem. I can see the content just as it should be, and I can navigate the site normally, but there’s just no styling.

I’ve tried messing with permissions on the folders, but I’m clearly not getting something right. Am I missing something obvious? Surely S3 can use individual stylesheets?

Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

Answer 1

The reason is, amazon S3 sets the content-type of css files to binary/octet-stream, follow this tutorial to solve this issue.
