title: How to create a new MySQL server instance in workbench?
body: <p>I'm using:
  Mac OS X
  MySQL Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.6.27 
  And latest MySQL workbench, which, for some reason, still telling me, that it uses MySQl version 5.6.24.</p>
  
  <p>So, I could create new connections, but when I try to <strong>configure local management</strong>, in stage of <strong>test settings</strong> I always get:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Error: error calling Python module function
    WbAdmin.testInstanceSettingByName</p>
    
    <p>Check if /etc/my.cnf can be accessed File was found at the expected
    location Check if section for instance mysqld exists in /etc/my.cnf
    Traceback (most recent call last):   File
    "/Applications/MySQLWorkbench.app/Contents/Resources/plugins/wb_admin_grt.py",
    line 777, in testInstanceSettingByName
        if check_if_config_file_has_section(open(config_file, "r"), section): IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/etc/my.cnf'
    Operation failed: error calling Python module function
    WbAdmin.testInstanceSettingByName</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I suppose, that it is caused by absence of any server instances. When I try to <strong>Rescan for Local MySQL Servers</strong>, I get message:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>No servers were found.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>So, what's wrong? How to solve this problem, how to create a server instance?</p>
