I installed redis using
sudo apt-get -y install redis-server
The default data directory is /var/lib/redis/, but when I changed to another directory /some path/redisDB in file: sudo gedit /etc/redis/redis.conf, I cannot start the redis sever again. I get an error as
Job for redis-server.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status redis-server.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
systemctl status redis-server.service
