Adding Silverlight support to Apache (mime.types)

Question:

Do I need to make any changes for the Apache webserver to support Silverlight apps?

Answer:

In most cases, no changes need to be made.

If you are having problems, try adding:

application/manifest manifest
application/xaml+xml xaml
application/x-ms-application application
application/x-ms-xbap xbap
application/octet-stream deploy
application/vnd.ms-xpsdocument xps
application/xaml+xml xaml
application/x-silverlight-app xap

to your mime.types file

Don’t forget to restart apache with:

/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl graceful

after you make the change.
