Login to MySQL and create a database for Senddera:

sudo mysql -u root
CREATE DATABASE senddera;
CREATE USER 'senddera_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'your_strong_password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON senddera.* TO 'senddera_user'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;

Step 4: Upload Senddera Files

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/senddera
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/senddera/storage
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/senddera/bootstrap/cache
