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

The MySQL Server installation on OS X does not include a cnf file, so it is normal that you get the warning. Nonetheless you can continue creating the connection without problems (ignore the warning). When you start MySQL Workbench afterwards and try to manage the configuration of the server, you will get another warning, but you can continue and MySQL Workbench creates the cnf file for you. No need to do all that manually.
