Answer 1

i have found the answer here

Google App Engine: Won't serve static assets with below error:

basically I had an changes in my css so when I upload it that error occurred I never been working in app engine before using php so spare me with this error but this is quick fix

edit the app.yaml every url : /dir must have a mime_type for example


- url: /assets/css<br> static_dir: assets/css<br> mime_type: "text/css"

the problem was solve by this line mime_type: "text/css"
