spring cloud 使用Eureka server ：报错 java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect

记录一个深坑的问题：

小白在学习spring cloud 教程，因为在教程中用的配置文件是yml格式，而我的idea默认自动生成的配置文件是properties格式，所以踩了两个坑，两天才爬出来。现做记录如下：

配置文件内容：

server:
    port: 8761

eureka:
    instance:
        hostname: localhost
    client:
        registerWithEureka: false
        fetchRegistry: false
        serviceUrl:
            defaultZone: http://${eureka.instance.hostname}:${server.port}/eureka/

配置文件格式是properties时候：报错
