My server did the same.  I rebooted it and FAQ showed up and I was actually able to use it like you are supposed to be able to.
 
Thank you,

Subject: Re: [otrs] Cannot create FAQ Categories

Did you do a manual install or a package install?  I just go to Admin->Package Manager->Update->Install (FAQ) and once it's installed, the FAQ button shows up in the Admin.

Actually, even regular screen will show the FAQ button too.

Best regards,


Poe

There is no "Admin->FAQ".

However, as an experiment, I took the URL for adding an FAQ Article:

http://otrs.terraworld.net/otrs/index.pl?Action=AgentFAQ&Subaction=Add

and changed that to

http://otrs.terraworld.net/otrs/index.pl?Action=AgentFAQ&Subaction=Category

and was greeted by the "FAQ Category" section, in which I can add
Categories.

I'm concerned why Admin->FAQ is not available, though. Perhaps there is
some sort of error in my installation.
