Created categories don't show on front page

New
I've installed Vanilla 2.1.3 to my server and everything works but it won't show the category I created in the front page. I setup everything to show on the front page by default and the front page is set to show categorical view. What am I doing wrong here?

It doesn't work on the full site either, I just used my phone because that's what I had available.
its not clear what you want.
see these two threads or post an image of full site and explain better what you don't see, that you want to see.
you don't see discussions in the category, or you don't see a category name.

I want the category I created to show on the front page like it does by default.
What do you see here
http://codefoliage.us.to/forum/index.php?p=/vanilla/settings/managecategories
If you click edit for the category, what is the url that come up. It should give the category ID.
btw .htaccess is not enabled yo should enable it unless you are doing our own serve rules.
grep is your friend.
http://codefoliage.us.to/forum/index.php?p=/category/general-chat/ is the category url. Where is the default .htaccess, if it doesn't have one what do I need to restrict access to? I've even just tried to create a new category under a different url and it still doesn't show and going straight to the url leads to a 404.
that is not the url I wanted. read my post I want the edit category url so I can get the id.
.htaccess should be in the zip, sometime it doesn't get uploaded becuase some ftp client don't upload hidden files by default

grep is your friend.
I mean what does it show in the address bar. Sorry for the confusion.
grep is your friend.
e.g.
..vanilla/settings/editcategory/1grep is your friend.
I know how to enable .htaccess, it is enabled it but it doesn't show up in the files of the server. The category id is 3, url http://codefoliage.us.to/forum/index.php?p=/vanilla/settings/editcategory/3
It probably wasn't uploaded. If you are suing ftp, make sure it upload hidden files.
grep is your friend.
I wonder if there is an issue with the category table..?
Select * From GDN_Category;grep is your friend.
I didn't use FTP, I downloaded the file straight from the website to my server using wget. .htaccess is there, what is supposed to be blocked though that makes you say it isn't?
it is not enabled but that is a side issue, best open up another discussion for that.
grep is your friend.
in .htaccess you can follow the instruction for
RewriteBasegrep is your friend.
htaccess is enabled in apache2.conf, everything shows perfectly in phpMyAdmin, even when you scroll over. Note I did change RewriteBase to what it told me to after I posted the screencap.
Here is htaccess as it shows as pure text on the shell
What permissions does the category have?
