Spring Cloud Configuration Server not working with local properties file – getting need to use a composite configuration

I am configuring the new spring config server and getting the below error.

***************************
APPLICATION FAILED TO START
***************************

Description:

Invalid config server configuration.

Action:

If you are using the git profile, you need to set a Git URI in your configuration.  If you are using a native profile and have spring.cloud.config.server.bootstrap=true, you need to use a composite configuration.

I have tried the below links but no luck
Spring Cloud Config Server configuration with local repository
spring config server- for local git repository

server.port = 8888

Answer

You should rename your bootstrap.properties file to application.properties (see Spring Cloud Config Server).

And use native profile like @spencergibb recommended in comments section (see File system backend), either by adding the following line to application.properties

spring.profiles.active=native

or passing it externally see (Externalized Configuration), e.g.

java -jar myapp.jar --spring.profiles.active=native
