Just an FYI to list members that helped me trouble shoot this issue last week. 
I was able to get celeryd running fine, as long as I did not execute this line 
from the tutorial:

rm -r /usr/share/pyshared/baruwa/settings.py && ln -s /etc/baruwa/settings.py 
/usr/share/pyshared/baruwa/

Just tested it again on a clone of my vm and now celeryd will not run.



Bit strange this, if you examine the deb that you download from the spamsnake 
instructions, you will find that what 'rm -r 
/usr/share/pyshared/baruwa/settings.py && ln -s /etc/baruwa/settings.py 
/usr/share/pyshared/baruwa/' does is this:

It removes a symbolic link to /etc/baruwa/settings.py and then recreates it in 
exactly the same place.

So if it is failing, there must be a fault in the way you entered the command, 
cut & paste by any chance?

Anyway, whatever the reason it failed, it appears to be a pointless exercise, 
so IMHO, just don't bother with the command, it, as you say, works anyway 
without it.



If you look at the command, it removes the settings.py first, then tries to 
link to it.
*shrug* I don't know why you would want to do that.
I think the objective of the author (atleast I have seen it in other Baruwa 
installs) is to create a /etc/baruwa/settings.py link to the real 
/usr/share/pyshared/baruwa/settings.py

If anything it should be:

rm -rf /etc/baruwa/settings.py; ln -s /etc/baruwa/settings.py 
/usr/share/pyshared/baruwa/settings.py

In cmd1 && cmd2, cmd2 is only executed if cmd1 succeeds (returns 0).
In cmd1 ; cmd2, cmd2 is executed in any case.
