Consumer Connection error with django and celery+rabbitmq?

Question

I'm trying to set up celeryd with django and rabbit-mq. So far, I've done the following:

• Installed celery from pip
• Installed rabbitmq via the debs available from their repository
• Added a user and vhost to rabbitmq via rabbitmqctl, as well as permissions for that user
• Started the rabbitmq-server
• Installed django-celery via pip
• Set up django-celery, including its tables
• Configured the various things in settings.py (BROKER_HOST, BROKER_PORT, BROKER_USER, BROKER_PASSWORD, BROKER_VHOST, as well as importing djecelery, calling the setup function and adding it to the INSTALLED APPS). I've double checked and all of these values are correct (at least, user, password and vhost are correct).

So now, when I run python manage.py celeryd -l info I get connection errors (see below). Anyone have any idea why?

$ python manage.py celeryd -l info

Answer 1

Your problem is in the BROKER_URL.

With an additional VHOST, the right config would be:

BROKER_URL='amqp://celeryuser@localhost:5672//'
BROKER_VHOST='/celeryhost'

Answer 2

For me, the following URL ending worked: ...@localhost:5672/celeryvhost
