When trying to run the following command from my EC2 instance in AWS I get the following:

hadoop-2.6.5/bin/hadoop fs -ls /hbase
ls: `/hbase': No such file or directory

I have the following:

core-site.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="configuration.xsl"?>
<configuration>
        <property>
                <name>fs.defaultFS</name>
                <value>hdfs://nn:9000</value>
        </property>
        <property>
                <name>hadoop.tmp.dir</name>
                <value>file:/home/ubuntu/hadoop-2.6.5/tmp</value>
        </property>
</configuration>

hbase-site.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="configuration.xsl"?>
<configuration>
    <property>
      <name>hbase.rootdir</name>
      <value>file:/home/ubuntu/hadoop-2.6.5/HBase/HFiles</value>
   </property>
    <property>
      <name>hbase.rootdir</name>
      <value>hdfs://nn:9000/hbase</value>
   </property>
   <property>
      <name>hbase.zookeeper.property.dataDir</name>
      <value>/home/ubuntu/hadoop-2.6.5/zookeeper</value>
   </property>
   <property>
   <name>hbase.cluster.distributed</name>
   <value>true</value>
</property>
</configuration>

An additional thing that I noticed was that this path does not exist in my filesystem:

/home/ubuntu/hadoop-2.6.5/HBase/HFiles and I don't know if I should make it because the zookeeper path was made on its own.

I have been reading this question and to no avail have I actually gotten the HBase working:

HBase can't creates its directory in HDFS

This is part of an error log that I notice when I viewing the hbase logs folder:

hbase-ubuntu-master-ip-xx-xxx-xx-xx.out.5

I am expecting to launch the HBase shell, create tables, and insert data into them, but I am still unable to insert data because it says that the server is not running. Is there any property that could prevent the folder creation in HDFS?
