Celery: cannot connect remote worker with new username

Question

I am connecting a remote worker to my Celery server (Django) for the first time. On my server, I have created a new username and password for a user, and set the permissions:

# rabbitmqctl add_user adcelery pwd
# rabbitmqctl set_permissions adcelery "^adcelery-.*" ".*" ".*"
# rabbitmqctl list_users
Listing users ...
guest   [administrator]
adcelery    []
...done.
# /etc/init.d/rabbitmq-server restart
# /etc/init.d/celeryd restart

My remote worker's URL:

BROKER_URL = "amqp://adcelery:pwd@mydomain.com/"

I am getting the following error on the startup of my remote worker. When I set "guest:guest" as my login in the BROKER_URL above, it connects perfectly fine. I'm sure I'm missing a step or two, any suggestions?

Answer 1

Just found the answer in the docs. Need to add the user to the vhost:

rabbitmqctl set_permissions -p / adcelery ".*" ".*" ".*"
