Hi,

I have been taking the Fundamentals in kdb+ course from the KX Academy and I have made it to the capstone project stage. I have loaded up the capstone server and I have followed the instructions on the README.md file, however, I can't find the initialised partitioned database anywhere. A new folder has been created at the same level as the "course-fundamentals-capstone" folder and it is called "developer", however, it does not appear to have the database within it. It's all very messy and I'm not sure how I am meant to continue. Please let me know what I can do to fix it.

Thanks,

Cameron

Edit: Trying to load in the partition using the filepath given in project.md throws this error. Have I loaded the database in correctly?

Hi Manu,

The Academy was undergoing maintenance over the weekend which may have caused some disruptions. Can you try it now to see if it works?

Thanks,

Megan
