Categories gone after 2.8.1 --> 2.8.2 upgrade

[mmcgrath]

Just as the subject says. My categories are gone after an upgrade from 2.8.1 to 2.8.2. It's possible I screwed something up...but I don't think I did! I didn't get any errors when running update.php.

Thanks!

Follow-up. I see the categories are still in tact at the database level...just now showing up in the WebUI.

I am unable to see them anywhere in the Web interface. Signed in as a guest or as admin I can't see them. Again, I do see them in the database still.

No longer an issue. There were bigger MySQL problems. Once I figured those out, the categories were showing again.

Thanks!

Something with the /tmp directory having the wrong owner/permissions. I'm not an expert by any means, but /tmp was not owned by root -- changed it to root and it started working all of a sudden.

I did update the entire system before this problem...maybe updates caused it. Who knows...
