We're testing our ClickOnce deployed application internally on IIS (Internet Information Services), but we're wondering if we can deploy it to the wider internet using Apache on Linux so we can make use of our existing external website host.
If so, is there anything else I need to consider other than as specifying the correct mime types such as .application and .deploy?
I found a number of people asking the same question starting around 2005, but here is the first google result - also discusses silverlight.

As far as I can tell, however, the only thing you would need to worry about would be setting up the mime types and providing access to the files.
The Paul Clement article is the best description I've found. I also came across a topic in the Apache documentation that suggests putting the configuration in the httpd.conf file instead of .htaccess files. Here are the lines I added to my httpd.conf file:
AddType application/x-ms-application .application
AddType application/manifest .manifest
AddType application/octet-stream .deploy
