I've found out exactly where the problem exists.  I've put the relevant 
fragments of the three scripts involved below.  The main thing is that 
the platform.sh script has a call to initctl, which no longer exists.  
This seems to be where the listen for port 59234 is supposed be set.  Is 
there a replacement for what is presumably a deprecated call?  It seems 
to work OK in 14.04.

In main setup script:

for service in $SERVICES; do
             if [ $service = "web" ]; then
                 sleep 2
                 outfn=$(util_mktemp /tmp/testweb.XXXXXX)
                 if ! util_test_url 
"http://127.0.0.1:$(get_webui_port)/" 1 10 "$outfn"; then
                     echo "Web service is not healthy" 1>&2
                     cat "$outfn" 1>&2
                 fi

In 'base' script:
get_webui_port()
{
     if [ -z "$SYMFORM_WEB_UI_PORT" ]; then
         echo "59234"
     else
         echo "$SYMFORM_WEB_UI_PORT"
     fi
}

In 'platform'script:
if [ -d /etc/init -a -f /sbin/initctl ]; then
     . "/opt/symform/scripts/platform/upstart.sh"
elif [ -d /etc/systemd -a -f /bin/systemctl ]; then
     . "/opt/symform/scripts/platform/systemd.sh"
else
     . "/opt/symform/scripts/platform/systemv.sh"
fi

This is where the script fails: the command 'initctl' no longer exists, 
and the script fails with an error message 'No command 'initctl:' found, 
did you mean:
Command 'initctl' from package 'upstart' (main)
initctl:: command not found'

Regards,        Barry.
