Error Message Received "The configuration file could not be opened."
<!--- What behavior did you expect? -->
Edit bitcoin.conf through the GUI
<!-- Any extra information that might be useful in the debugging process. -->
While troubleshooting the problem I went to
/Users/MyUser/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin/ and verified there's a symbolic link from there to /Users/MyUser/bitcoin/bitcoin.conf
The problem was that /Users/MyUser/bitcoin/ directory didn't exist after the initial install.
Once mkdir /Users/MyUser/bitcoin/ and touch bitcoin.conf the problem was solved.
This is minor, but for a newbie like me or even less experienced is helpful if you can fix ;)
Thank you guys!
