Installing MySQL Workbench but File /etc/my.cnf doesn't exist

Question

I managed to download the MySQL DMG archive to my OS (mac OS X). It works if I use the command line. Now, I\'m trying to install MySQL Workbench. I\'ve created MySQL Connect

Answer 1

I figured it out:

1. Went to my terminal and typed:

    passwd
    Old password was blank
    I created a new password (it was THAT simple)
   

2. I created a "etc" directory

3. I checked the files under /usr/local/mysql/support-files/ and saw my cnf file was actually named my-default.cnf and not my-huge.cnf like the developer at the MySQL site.

4. So I typed: sudo cp my-default.cnf /etc/my.cnf

5. went back to the Workbench and it FINALLY said:

   Testing host machine settings is done.
