Hi there, I need to use a task queue for Django, and Celery seems ideal, unfortunately I can't install RabbitMQ on my server, so I need to use an alternate backend (I have Redis and MySQL available). Unfortunately, I can't get either to work :\
I'm using Celery 1.0.5 with Django 1.2.1, I've added celery to my INSTALLED_APPS and I've synched the database to create the celery_taskmeta and celery_tasksetmeta tables. I'm now following the instructions here: http://celeryproject.org/docs/tutorials/otherqueues.html for setting up MySQL as the backend. In my settings.py I have: DATABASE_ENGINE = 'mysql' DATABASE_NAME = 'django' DATABASE_USER = 'django' DATABASE_PASSWORD = 'django' DATABASE_HOST = '' DATABASE_PORT = '' CARROT_BACKEND = "ghettoq.taproot.Database" CELERY_RESULT_BACKEND = "database" CELERY_RESULT_DBURI = "mysql://django:dja...@localhost/django" CELERY_DEFAULT_EXCHANGE = "tasks" CELERYD_LOG_LEVEL = "DEBUG" INSTALLED_APPS = ( 'celery', 'ghettoq', ... ) I now have a task defined which I can run as follows: $ python manage.py shell >> from mysite.myapp.models import TaskTest >> result = TaskTest.add.delay(5,6) >> result.ready() False But when I run celeryd, the task is never run: $ python manage.py celeryd Configuration -> . broker -> ghettoq.taproot.Database://n...@none/ . queues -> . celery -> exchange:tasks (direct) binding:celery . concurrency -> 2 . loader -> celery.loaders.djangoapp.Loader . logfile -> [stde...@debug . events -> OFF . beat -> OFF . tasks -> ... It's strange, as I can see a row is created for the task in celery_taskmeta, but the status is always PENDING. I've also tried swapping MySQL out for Redis, but no joy with that either. Clearly I'm missing something here, can anyone give me some pointers? Many thanks in advance, Steve Also posted to Celery group here: http://groups.google.com/group/celery-users/browse_thread/thread/59ace62b59dba4de -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
