Term Store Management Link missing

Error : "The required feature is not enabled for this column type"

You also do not see the Term Store Management link in site collection settings.

If you are using SharePoint 2010, and you have the Managed Meta Data service application you have to associate the service with your Web Application before you can use it.

Even though you might have followed a step by step guide, something went wrong and you recieve the following errors :

"The required feature is not enabled for this column type"

If you do come accoss this error, no worries, you will just have to activate this feature manually using the STSADM command line utility, found at "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\BIN"

You will have to run the following commands "stsadm -o activatefeature -id 7201d6a4-a5d3-49a1-8c19-19c4bac6e668 -url web application url -force".

I have found the id by looking in the following folder "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\FEATURES\MetaDataNav" and examing the "feature.xml" file.

And also run "stsadm -o activatefeature -id 73EF14B1-13A9-416b-A9B5-ECECA2B0604C -url web application url -force".

I have found the id by looking in the following folder "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\FEATURES\TaxonomyFieldAdded" and examing the "feature.xml" file.

This did the trick for me, hope that it did for you.
