Nacos is prepared to be used as the configuration center. Version 1.3.1 (official recommended stable version – January 11, 2021)
MySQL version: version 5.7 (I heard that version 5.8 has changed greatly), otherwise nacos-mysql.sql file cannot be run
JDK version: 1.8.0_144 (the lower version not works)

Problem Description:

1. Run the spring cloud Alibaba Nacos source code in the local idea, and an error is reported: unable to start embedded Tomcat

org.springframework.context.ApplicationContextException: Unable to start web server; nested exception is org.springframework.boot.web.server.WebServerException: Unable to start embedded Tomcat

Cause analysis:

Modified in the application.properties configuration file as below:

#*************** Config Module Related Configurations ***************#
### If use MySQL as datasource:
spring.datasource.platform=mysql

### Count of DB:
db.num=1

### Connect URL of DB:
db.url.0=jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1:3306/nacos?characterEncoding=utf8&connectTimeout=1000&socketTimeout=3000&autoReconnect=true&useUnicode=true&useSSL=false&serverTimezone=UTC
db.user=root
db.password=root

Solution:

The solution of idea
The source code was downloaded locally and imported into idea, no error was reported or anything (although the import will prompt that various classes cannot be found or something) The startup class is in the console module, you need to modify the application.properties of this module, the modification method is the same as the modification method of the configuration file of nacos server, Nacos local source code build Start, if not a cluster start, you need to add -Dnacos.standalone=true in the start parameters.
1. Click Edit Configurations in the upper right corner

2. In the pop-up interface, enter -Dnacos.standalone=true in VM options, save it
