Job for mariadb.service failed after data directory move

Hi everyone, I'm running MariaDB10.0.1, today I had to move my data-directory because the default path (var/lib/mysql) is in my root partition and was causing it to fill up. I moved the data-directory to /home/mysql. I have checked the file permissions and I think they are correct. I have obviously also specified the new path for the data-directory. What I also did is edit MariaDB settings to allow the database directory to be in the /home/ folder. I am now getting the following error:

[root@raccoon etc]# systemctl start mariadb
Job for mariadb.service failed because a fatal signal was delivered to the control process. See "systemctl status mariadb.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

I've scavenged all of the threads on the web I could find about this error, but neither of the fixes seem to work. Any ideas? Thanks in advance :)

Hello, Could you let us know the specific entries you added to the /etc/my.cnf file? Thank you.
