Why the Celery task was not executed in my Django app
Yesterday, after deploying my Django apps stack to a new Ubuntu server (14.04 from 12.04), I found that the Celery task was not executed. What happened? Finally, I managed to make it work again following these changes: 1. Upgrade these python modules to the latest version (come with Ubuntu 14.04): Django 1.6.6 , django-celery 3.1.10 , celery 3.1.13 , librabbitmq 1.5.2 (to avoid warning about rabbitmq compatibility) 2. Add these CELERY settings (in red color) in my Django app's settings.py: ... CELERY_IMPORTS = ("myapp.tasks",) CELERY_RESULT_BACKEND = 'djcelery.backends.database:DatabaseBackend' CELERY_ACCEPT_CONTENT = ['pickle', 'json'] # new in celery 3.1 CELERY_TRACK_STARTED = True ... (remember to restart the celery beat after making those changes)
