Today I have dealt with the aftermath of a Mac OS X Server Maverick upgrade.
Mac OS X Server has an integrated http server. The configuration files for the http server are now under /Library/Server/Web/Config/apache2
During the upgrade the configuration files are transformed.
In my case the loading of the .so files for Subversion in the httpd_server_app.conf file was removed, a special site file svn.conf was disabled by being renamed to svn.conf.SyntaxError, Also ProxyPass directives present in several of my site files were removed.
Maybe I should communicate these problems upstream to Apple ... or stop using the web server of Maverick and set up my own.
Oh and on top of that my Mail services were not working any more. I was not able to receive outside mail any more. It looks like I was receiving outside mail on port 465 and this does not work any more, I have had to open the port 25.

Screen Sharing Issues with my Mac Mini running Maverick
Hi,
I have recently upgraded my Mac Mini to Mavericks.
The screen sharing from an IMac running Mavericks too is bad. When my mouse pointer is on the screen sharing window, the mouse pointer moves slowly by itself making it difficult to click on the proper window or control.
I found that article http://www.tristanbettany.com/2013/06/17/slow-screen-sharing-in-osx-vnc-performance-issues/ which gives a potential workaround.
In fact I am ending up using JollysFastVNC which works great.

Voting today for French Conseil des Francais a l'etranger
Hi,
I am voting today for the French Conseil des Francais a l'etranger.
The vote is implemented by an applet which seems to want to run only with JRE 1.7.51
I looked in my Java Control Panel on the Mac, it displays the version which of the JRE which is installed but does not give the possibility to switch JRE.
The JRE used by the applet is under /Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home/bin . It looks like this is an actual copy of the JRE - currently I have a JDK 1.9, so there does not seem to be a soft way of switching the JRE version used to run the applets on the Mac.
So I have do download again a Java SE Runtime Environment 7u51.
I do that, and I try to install the DMG. Now I am getting an error message saying "newer version exists, refer to java.com/newerversionexists" which is a non existent URL.
