Cannot change Redis data dir even after changing the user

I am running redis 3.0.6 in ubuntu 16.04 server. I have edited the /etc/redis/redis.conf file & changed the dir option from /var/lib/redis to /home/redisdata & changed the owner of /home/redisdata to redis.

I have moved the dump.rdb from /var/lib/redis to /home/redisdata & tried to start the redis-server. But it keeps on saying :

Can't chdir to '/home/redisdata': Permission denied

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks.

Just in case you are still having this issue, try this: edit the file 

/etc/systemd/system/redis.service

commenting the line

#ProtectHome=yes

It will complain about the file change and ask you to do a 

sudo systemctl daemon-reload

That should do it

sudo service redis-server restart
