Re: No Node.js Access To MySQL Community Database . . .

Thanks for response.
I did use another MySQL user with lesser privileges but got the same non-response.
If you don't mind, I'll defer use of password reading from a secure external source till this connection issue is sorted!

A log I inserted in the npm 'mysql' module is printed to the console.
But thereafter the mysql module delegates connection creation to the module 'net' within Node.js' libuv library. Source code is available for the 'net' module but core modules like 'net.js' are precompiled into C, as far as I know, in Node installations. So I can't put logs in this module.

At any rate there is a failure to connect and one without a useful error message.
As you suggest, it's likely to be MySQL rebuffing a connection rather than a Node.js issue.
