Celery tries to connect to the wrong broker
I have in my celery configuration BROKER_URL = 'redis://127.0.0.1:6379' CELERY_RESULT_BACKEND = 'redis://127.0.0.1:6379' Yet whenever I run the celeryd, I get this error consumer: Cannot connect to amqp://guest@127.0.0.1:5672//: [Errno 111] Connection refused. Trying again in 2.00 seconds... Why is it not connecting to the redis broker I set it up with, which is running btw? import your celery and add your broker like that : celery = Celery('task', broker='redis://127.0.0.1:6379') celery.config_from_object(celeryconfig) If you followed First Steps with Celery tutorial, specifically: app.config
