I always do this. I need to setup a new computer. I need to add the computer users domain account into the local administrator group of the local computer. When I do this I can never see the Domain. What I’m doing wrong is trying to do this ahead of setting up the private IP and DNS. By default it is using DHCP from the Firewall. Our internal network is running IPs hardcoded to the NIC. The firewall is using DNS servers that are not on our network. When setting up the private IP, Gateway and internal DNS I can now access the Domain object.

I was trying to use this to upgrade to 2.9.1. The upgrade kept failing with the following message.

Could not create directory: /httpdocs/wp-content/upgrade

Some research indicated this was a permission problem. I created the folder manually but still had problems. I ran the following in SSH session.

[root@host yaddayaddacom]# chmod -R 777 httpdocs

Then I was able to run the one click update. Be sure to turn permission back to something less open.
