# CSS Serving Issue - Complete Fix Guide
## Problem Summary
Your Next.js application is not serving CSS properly, causing the site to appear unstyled.
## Root Causes Identified
1. Custom server configuration may not be serving static files correctly
2. Tailwind CSS compilation issues
3. Missing PostCSS configuration
4. Incomplete content paths in Tailwind config
## Solutions Applied
### 1. ✅ Added Fallback CSS Styles
- Added comprehensive fallback styles in `_app.tsx`
- Ensures basic styling works even if Tailwind fails
### 2. ✅ Updated Tailwind Configuration
- Added all necessary content paths
- Includes context, hooks, utils, and other directories
### 3. ✅ Created PostCSS Configuration
- Added `postcss.config.js` for proper CSS processing
- Ensures Tailwind and Autoprefixer work correctly
### 4. ✅ Enhanced Document Structure
- Updated `_document.tsx` with proper font loading
- Added Google Fonts preconnect for better performance
## Immediate Actions Required
### Step 1: Rebuild the Project
```bash
cd /home/gositeme/domains/lavocat.ca/public_html
npm run build
```
### Step 2: Restart the Server
```bash
pkill -f "server-https.js"
npm run dev
```
### Step 3: Test CSS Loading
1. Visit https://lavocat.ca
2. Open browser developer tools (F12)
3. Check the Network tab for CSS files
4. Look for any 404 errors on CSS files
### Step 4: Verify CSS Files
```bash
# Check if CSS files exist
ls -la .next/static/css/
# Check CSS file content
head -20 .next/static/css/*.css
```
## Alternative Solutions
### Option A: Use Standard Next.js Server
If the custom server continues to have issues:
```bash
# Stop custom server
pkill -f "server-https.js"
# Use standard Next.js server
npm run dev:http
```
### Option B: Fix Custom Server
If you need the custom HTTPS server, ensure it properly handles static files:
```javascript
// In server-https.js, ensure this line exists:
const handle = app.getRequestHandler();
// And this is called for all requests:
handle(req, res, parsedUrl);
```
### Option C: Manual CSS Injection
If all else fails, manually inject critical CSS:
```javascript
// In _app.tsx, add this to the Head component:
<style dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{
__html: `
/* Critical CSS here */
.bg-blue-600 { background-color: #2563eb !important; }
.text-white { color: #ffffff !important; }
/* ... more styles ... */
`
}} />
```
## Testing the Fix
1. **Check the test files I created:**
- `test-css.html` - Basic CSS test
- `test-css-simple.html` - Simple CSS verification
2. **Verify in browser:**
- Open https://lavocat.ca
- Check if colors, spacing, and layout are applied
- Look for any console errors
3. **Check network requests:**
- Open browser dev tools
- Go to Network tab
- Reload the page
- Look for CSS files being loaded successfully
## Expected Results
After applying these fixes, you should see:
- ✅ Properly styled homepage with colors and layout
- ✅ Blue buttons with white text
- ✅ Proper spacing and typography
- ✅ Responsive design working
- ✅ No CSS-related console errors
## If Issues Persist
1. **Check server logs:**
```bash
tail -f nextjs.log
```
2. **Verify static file serving:**
```bash
curl -I https://lavocat.ca/_next/static/css/*.css
```
3. **Try standard Next.js server:**
```bash
npm run dev:http
```
4. **Check for build errors:**
```bash
npm run build 2>&1 | grep -i error
```
