This one seems simple, you need to have an entry for the /vicepa
partition in the /vice/db/vicetab file, and have an initially empty file
called /vicepa/FTREEDB. I wonder why the setup scripts didn't do this
for you. And if they did, the forward and reverse namelookups for your
server didn't match and the server doesn't realize that soap is really
the name of the server. Although, the server should still have been
running and able to accept the rpc2 binding even without available
partitions (useless but...).

startservers is just a dumb script. It probably fails because the
/vice/srv/pid file exists, which should have been removed by the
previously started 'startserver' as soon as the server died.

startserver -d 100, should turn debugging up pretty high.
