> Pulkit Chandra wrote in GEODE-2052:
> The REST api needs bind address property and http-service-port. Its not called out clearly in the docs that they are *mandatory*. 
> [link to docs section](http://geode.incubator.apache.org/docs/guide/rest_apps/setup_config.html)
> quote 
> ```
> To enable the developer REST API service in Apache Geode, set the start-dev-rest-api Geode property to true when starting a data node using either gfsh or the ServerLauncher API. Setting this property to true on a data node will start up an embedded Jetty server and deploy the REST developer API WAR file.
> ```
> We also found out that some of the gemfire.properties do not get applied when supplied in geode.properties but rather have to be passed as command line properties. e.g. enabling rest api.
> It would be nice to call that out clearly in docs.
> It should highlight that its necessary to have 2 more properties bind-address and http-service-port defined to make it work.
> We would be happy to provide further details on this matter if needed.
