The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Setting up MYSQL server for local and remote access - security and implementation concerns

Asked by Christine_Moran in MySQL Server, Handhelds and PDAs, PHP and Databases

We are a small company with a Dell Poweredge SC 1430 running MS SBS 2003 behind a Zywall 5 UTM internet Firewall.

 We have a requirement for a data base and I am hoping to use MYSQL with one of the off the shelf PHP UIs available. I could do with some advice re: implementation for our specific requirements.

The database will have 2 types of user (a) 7 office/admin staff who need various levels of access to view and edit the database.(some via vpn) (b) on the road staff who need read only access to certain parts of the database. They will be logging in via a handheld device of some sort.

Initially I thought I could just get it all up and running and everyone could log in securely over the vpn to the DB. However, I now realise that user licensing is going to be a problem for the on the road guys.  We only have a 10 license system I dont think it would be cost effective for us to increase this to cover another 10  maybe more users who only need occasional access.

I was wondering if it was possible and practical to rent some server space to mirror all or part of the data base which could be updated once a day and accessed by the on the road staff. Not sure if this is a daft idea or not.

Any and all suggestions or comments on how best to implement this solution would be most welcome.

Many thanks in advance.
