Hello @RizeTech,

This is an issue usually caused after applying the SUPEE-8788 patch bundle, and where the php version has been upgraded to PHP5.6. More information regarding this issue is outlined in

ERR (3): Deprecated functionality: iconv_set_encoding(): Use of iconv.internal_encoding is deprecated in /var/www/vhosts/example.co.nz/httpdocs/lib/Zend/Locale/Format.php on line 1050

There is a patch available for >= Magento 1.7 to address this. See https://gist.github.com/renttek/29beaaa1e90909639501. Some simple SSH commands to download and execute the patch from within your Magento directory:

Hi Paul,

If you’re upgrading from Magento 1.9.1.1 to the latest 1.9.x (which is 1.9.4.5), the best approach is:

1. Take a full backup

Backup both your database and Magento files.

Put the store in maintenance mode during the upgrade.

2. Download the latest Magento 1.9.x

You can get Magento 1.9.4.5 from the official archive:

🔗 https://github.com/OpenMage/magento-mirror

or

🔗 https://github.com/OpenMage/magento-lts/releases

3. Compare and replace files

Upload the new version to a staging/dev copy of your store.

Replace all core Magento files (except app/etc/local.xml and your media/ folder).

Keep your custom theme and

Hi
I have a customer on Magento 1.9.1.1 that wanted to upgrade to version 2, but we have abandoned that as the theme is use wouldn't convert. So they want to go to the latest 1.9.x release instead.
Can anyone give me instructions on the best way to do this please?
I keep seeing reference to SUPEE-7405 v 1.0 patch before doing anything, but I can't find the download for this
If anyone could give me both the instructions and the URL for all the downloads I would need, that would be great
Thanks & Regards

 extensions folders, but test them carefully after upgrade.

4. Apply security patches

SUPEE-7405 v1.0 is already ماين كرافت APK عربي included in the latest release, so you don’t need to apply it separately.

If you still want older patches or specific ones:

🔗 https://magento.com/tech-resources/download (Magento account required)

5. Run upgrade scripts

In your browser, visit yourstore.com/admin after file replacement.

Magento will auto-run DB upgrade scripts.

6. Test everything

Check checkout, payment, shipping, customer login, admin panel, and all extensions.

Only move to live when staging is 100% stable.

⚠️ Tip: Since Magento 1 is EOL, consider using OpenMage LTS for ongoing security updates.
