问题
I'm using mysql-server 5.5 and had created a server instance. After created I try to open the instance editor and select Options File in CONFIGURATION but it says
Configuration file '' can not be found. New file will be created on apply of changes
and then
Configuration file did not contain section [], so a new one was added. If that is not correct, please fix the section name in the Server Instance Editor and reopen the administrator.
But I have checked and see that I have a my.cnf at /etc/mysql/my.cnf.
This cause the problem I can't connect to my database from Eclipse.
So the question is how can I solve this on mysql-server or is there a way to set configuration file for server instance?
P/s: I'm using Ubuntu 12.04
UPDATE
MySQL Workbench 5.2.38 and Manage Connection
回答1:
Assuming MySQL Workbench, define the path to your MySQL configuration file for your MySQL connection. To do this:
- Open Workbench to the Home page
- Right-click on the appropriate MySQL connection tile, choose "Edit Connection"
- Choose the "System Profile" tab
- Set "Configuration File" which for you should be /etc/mysql/my.cnf
- For good measure, click "Test Connection"
Now, opening that MySQL connection will use the newly configured "Configuration File".

I changed my setting from Custom to MacOSx (MySql Package) under:
Database>Manage Connections>MySql Connections>Select DB Connection>System Profile>Installation Type>(default setting) MySql Package
