Description:
The docs on this page: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql-utilities/1.4/en/fabric-configuration-file.html

say to create the config file at: /usr/local/etc/mysql/fabric.cfg

However it appears the current version of fabric looks in /etc/mysql/fabric.cfg.

It would also be helpful if there was output similar to mysqld --verbose --help which lists the config file locations searched.

How to repeat:
Follow the Fabric docs for configuring.

Suggested fix:
Update the docs; add better user feedback in the program.

This was fixed long ago in the 1.5/1.6 manual, sorry for not updating this bug report. However, the fix was only recently backported to the older 1.4 manual. 

The ability for mysqlfabric to show where it scans for config files, or show loaded config files, is its own request separate from this documentation bug.

Thank you for the bug report.
