Answer 1

I'm using an export that works exactly like your function and it works properly..
var mysql = require("mysql");
var self = module.exports = {
db:{},
init: function(login, callback) {
self.db = mysql.createConnection({
host:'myHost',
user:'myUser',
password:'myPassword',
database:'myDbName'
});
return self.db.connect(function(err) {
if (err) {
callback(null);
}
else {
callback(self.db);
}
});
},
execute:function(login, request, callback) {
return self.db.query(request, function(err, rows, fields) {
if (err) {
callback(null);
}
else {
callback(rows);
}
});
}
};

Please pass port number which is 3306 in your mysql connection
