You should share the custom database script code (redacting any sensitive information like URL, passwords, etc); ideally you should not even have those in the code and use configuration variables, but since you’re starting the implementation you may still have those in code, hence the warning. The error seems related to the Javascript code itself, in particular with the usage of a module to connect to MySQL. We have templates for MySQL available at ([Login Script Templates](https://auth0.com/docs/connections/database/custom-db/templates/login#mysql)); are you using those as reference already? ---

If you haven’t done so already you should check ([Custom database error - "mysql is not a function"?](http://community.auth0.com/t/custom-database-error-mysql-is-not-a-function/21052)) which has some relevant information from someone that experienced similar issues. ---
