title: kubectl run command is failing with a connection refused error
body: <p>I am following the hellonode tutorial on kubernetes.io</p>
  
  <p><a href="http://kubernetes.io/docs/hellonode/" rel="nofollow">http://kubernetes.io/docs/hellonode/</a></p>
  
  <p>I am getting an error when trying to do the 'Create your pod' section.</p>
  
  <p>When I run this command (replacing PROJECT_ID with the one I created) I get the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ kubectl run hello-node --image=gcr.io/PROJECT_ID/hello-node:v1 --port=8080
  
  The connection to the server localhost:8080 was refused - did you specify the right host or port?
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get a similar error just typing kubectl version:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ kubectl version
  
  Client Version: version.Info{Major:"1", Minor:"2", GitVersion:"v1.2.2", GitCommit:"528f879e7d3790ea4287687ef0ab3f2a01cc2718", GitTreeState:"clean"}
  The connection to the server localhost:8080 was refused - did you specify the right host or port?
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm not sure what to do since I have no experience with kubernetes other than following the steps of this tutorial.</p>
