vue解决跨域问题

问题一：vue.config.js不起作用
我是跟着视频做的，完全不懂vue。视频博主是vue3.x，而我是vue2.x。因此我跟着博主建的vue.config.js文件并不起作用。vue2.x跨域配置位置应该是：项目根目录——config——index.js

问题二：找到配置文件后，出现新的错误：TypeError: Cannot read property ‘split’ of null

TypeError: Cannot read property 'split' of null

搜了很多资料，说是target没有配置，最后才发现是地址格式出错（我是写成了http//localhost:8081，正确是http://localhost:8081）。
最后放上我的配置（只更改了proxyTable{}））

proxyTable: {
      '/': {
        target: "http://localhost:8081",//实际访问的ip
        changeOrigin: true,
        pathRewrite: {
          '^/': '/' 
        }
      },
    },
