Re: Helpdesk 6.0 Installation Failing at 87%

[Sam Ferguson]

** CMDB 1.1 has been successfully installed before installing helpdesk.  But I can’t get patch 002 on due to the below error in armonitor.log.   Server (pid:29789) died with 65280.   Any thought on what could be causing this error to be reported?
