Before upgrading, please...
- Check that your site meets all system requirements for 1.9 in Administration > Server > Environment
- Do a full database backup!
- Remember to purge PHP cache if using any PHP accelerator
- Read Upgrading to Moodle 1.8 if you are upgrading to 1.9 from 1.6 or 1.7

Notes
- If upgrading from 1.6 or later, you must have converted your site to Unicode
