Create the database

1

Create a new MySQL database

In cPanel, open MySQL Database Wizard. Name it (e.g. foodfeast_db) and choose collation utf8mb4_unicode_ci so multi-language text works.

2

Import the SQL file

Open the database in phpMyAdmin → Import, choose the SQL file included in your backend/ folder, and click Go.

SSH Import Command 
mysql -u foodfeast_user -p foodfeast_db < foodfeast_db.sql

Common errors & fixes

1 · Gradle build fails — compileSdk 36
Execution failed for task ':app:compileReleaseJavaWithJavac'
Use JDK 17+ (Android Studio → Settings → Build Tools → Gradle → Gradle JDK). As a temporary fallback, change compileSdk = 36 to 34 in android/app/build.gradle.
