It is important to create a testing or a parallel development system which is as same as the existing production system. Here’s how you can create the similar one.

#for example: cd /var/www/magento
touch maintenance.flag
Once you’re done with creation of the testing system, ensure to follow all the upgrade steps in the same.
STEP 2- Backup of your database and directories
Here, you need to take a complete backup of your Magento e-store’s database and directories to prevent loss of important information during the upgrade process.
STEP 3- Ready to upgrade Magento to version 1.9

chmod -R 777 /magento_folder
chmod 550 ./mage
./mage mage-setup .
./mage config-set preferred_state stable

Under rare situations wherein the modules are not listed as per the above format, you may use the below command to initiate the upgrade process:

With the completion of the upgrade process, you’ll view a list of modules with tags viz: “already installed” and “package upgraded”. Here, you need to make sure that your permissions are set back to normal. For this, you need to enter the following commands in the command prompt:
php shell/indexer.php reindexall
chmod -R 644 ./*
find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
chmod 550 ./mage
STEP 4- Compatibility your store with third-party extensions
Prior to migrating your Magento powered e-store to the all-new 1.9.0.1 version, make it a point to check for the compatibility of different third-party extensions on your e-commerce website.
STEP 5- Go online with Magento website version 1.9
