Question

Custom theme deployment (Linux)server

5

Since we migrated to 2.5.1.1 we can not use the custom theme after deployment on a (Linux)server, with the normal deployment procedure. I believe this issue is solved in 2.5.2 but we can not wait for that. Is there a workaround?

Yes.

Unfortunately there is a bug in Mendix 2.5.1.1 with GZIP. The index and login.html aren't being zipped from the theme folder with the deployment of the project.

The solution is very simple.

Install 7-Zip: http://www.7-zip.org/

GZIP the html files in your theme package and include the gzip files with your theme package. Keep the html and GZIP files in your theme package together. Re-deploy and it should work again.
