Description:
Error occures during atempt to change path to Configuration File (Manage Server Instances\System Profile\ Configuration File)
System Type = FreeBSD
Instalation = Type Custom
Configuration Path = /usr/local/etc/my.cnf

When I try to change - error occurs. May be I have no rights to acces to conf. file (I will ask my host provider). But it shouldn't brings to error

How to repeat:
Just try to change Configuration Path.

Suggested fix:
If cause is lack of rights it should be alert, not error. If somesing else - it need be just fixed. Thank you for appreciation =)

Please, check if the same problem happens with a newer version, 5.2.25.

In version MySQL Workbench 5.2.25 (r6303), the user cannot modify the configuration path in the Admin / Configuration tab. The path is grey and points to a dummy, default location that does not necessarily corresponds to the actual MySQL server path.

Yes, you can not change it when instance is created, but, in 5.2.25, when you create new instance, in the "Crate New Instance Profile" dialog box there is "Change Parameters" check box. If you check it and click Next, you can set whatever "Path to Configuration File" you need.

Please, check.
