Q: What is the upgrade to 10.9 method?
So I am running 10.8.5 Server now, or listed as OS X Server 2.2.2. What is the recommended upgrade method to get to OS X Server 3 (Mavericks)?
It is not very clear, and I don't want to start from scratch or lose my current working configuraton.
Since I am updating all of my client machines as well as the supporting software, I need my server to be compatable, mainly with iPhoto and my iTunes library as well. (both served from my server)
thanks,
Scott

First of all make sure you have a full backup at hand in case that something goes wrong.
Then simply install Mavericks over your 10.8.5 machine.
Then, once booted and running Mavericks, purchase Server.app from the Mac App Store.
Once the download is finished, your Mac will tell you that Server.app was replaced.
Start the new Server.app, it will do the migration on the fly, and once it is finished, your Mavericks Server should be up and running, with all data and settings in place, just as you would expect it.
