Indeed. Default configuration is missing and there is no error about
it. Perhaps default configuration for api server, even if
non-functional, would be helpful. Something like,

/etc/salt/master.d/api_server.conf

rest_cherrypy:
  port: 8000


Ideally, with some more options that are explained. Maybe copied
from here,

  http://salt-api.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ref/netapis/all/saltapi.netapi.rest_cherrypy.html


Non-functional config at least makes errors about invalid
configuration instead of just being silent.
