Thank you for the bug report. "How to repeat: 1. Click "New Server Instance" 2. Choose "Remote host" and provide the address of the remote server" Which server version is your remote host and OS version?. Thanks in advance.

The reason the file "my.ini" cannot be found, even though it exists is because the default path provided is incorrect. The default path should be "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1\my.ini". Notice the space between "Program Files".

I have tried the following paths to the "my.ini" file (which does exist in this location), and have received the same result of "The config file could not be found" for each. C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1\my.ini "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1\my.ini" %ProgramFiles%\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1\my.ini \\<hostname>\c$\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1\my.ini

SSH access must be enabled in order to access to certain parts of Administrator module. One of the parts is config file management. Remote Windows needs also sftp access to fetch/upload config files. So if ssh server is installed, which support sftp, then the config path setting in Workbench should contain sftp's path. For example if sftp is set up with ftp's root dir at C: and config file is at C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1\my.ini so the ftp path to put to the workbench settings is /Program Files/MySQL/MySQL Server 5.1/my.ini. We are working on remote file selector dialog which will help in locating remote files.

I checked where WB is trying to find my.ini file and somehow it tries to find it like this: "C:\Program files\MySQL Workbench 5.2 OSS\%ProgramFiles%\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1\my.ini"

2010-03-18 I have the same problem creating a new instance using workbench 5.2.15 OSS Beta and Mysql 5.0.51b-community-nt on Windows 32bit. Workbench indicates it cannot find the following my.ini which exist %ProgramFiles%\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\my.ini echo %ProgramFiles% gives C:\Program Files

I have the same problem on MySQL WorkBench 5.2.26 on Mac OSX 10.6.4. The path the software is testing is: "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\%Program Files%\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\my.ini" that't is obviously wrong. Any idea when it will be fixed? Thanx

Apart from other reasons, it's due to configuration file section field. If you open the every file, the value inside its mysqld, when if you open my.ini file the section name its [mysql]. Typing only mysql is enough.

Here is what helped me to set the my.ini file in the Workbench 5.2.29 CE when creating a brand new Server Instance for MySQL 5.1 (I work on Windows 7): - Click on "New Server Instance" as usual. - I configured "localhost" - set the "Database Connection" to work - ignored the error "Check MySQL configuration file... File doesn't exist" - proceeded to "Review Parameters" and checked that tickbox "Change Parameters"!! - "Next" took me to the page to set the "Path to Configuration File" there I entered "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1\my.ini" and for "Server Instance" I entered the section in the my.ini "mysqld" - "Next" on to the very end and the Workbench set up the Server Instance I will probably not be able to answer further questions, but this is what worked for me and I hope it will be useful to some of you too.

I had the same issue, and fixed it with the same method than described by Bernhard. Still a bug though.

I had a similar issue although not exactly the same. Initially, I installed MySQL 5.5 but later uninstalled to installed 5.1. When trying to edit the configuration file in Workbench it was looking for it in the 5.5 location. I fixed that by going to "Manage Server Instances -> System Profile" and correcting the "Configuration File" entry.
