I am sure many of you trying to upgrade your existing Magento Community Website to the newest 1.9 Community Edition. When we want to upgrade we need a proper planning and also it will be really helpful if we know prior, the common problems/mistakes that we do/face during upgrade so that we can take precautions. Through this blog article ‘Magento 1.9 Upgrade- Common Problems and Solutions’ I have tried to gather all the reported problems and solutions which are posted in Magento Forum.

Solution Given:

upgrade 1.6 to 1.9
System Configuration- Blank White Page after upgrade to 1.9.0.1
Upgraded Magento to 1.9.0.1, when I login to the backend of the site the system
configuration page just shows blank.
Solution Given:
Remove all files except config.xml from the following path: /app/code/core/Mage/
GoogleCheckout/etc
Problems in WYSIWYG Editor- Not Saving Links
Upgraded to latest 1.9 but having problems with the WYSIWYG Editor which is not
saving links on the page. When I add a picture and link it to another page, the link
doesn’t get saved.
I have cleared cache, logged out/in etc. without any luck.
Workaround Given:
Disable the editor and post the links using HTML, then again you can enable the WYSIWYG
Editor

Solution Given:
Possibly the error generated because of some extension.
- Disable All your extensions and check if you are getting this error
- Enable existing extensions one by one and keep checking if you are getting
this error - Identify the extension which causing this error, probably that extension
version is incompatible with Magento 1.9
