dotcloud celery permission denied

I am attempting to use celery in my django application so that I can run a background process that imports a CSV file into the one of my models databases. This works fine on my local machine running a celery worker using:

python manage.py celery worker --loglevel=info

and RabbitMQ 

rabbitmq-server

This is the error I receive once I push to dotcloud

workers.0    celery.platforms.LockFailed: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/celeryev.pid'

EDIT: 

supervisord.conf

[program:djcelery]
command = /home/dotcloud/env/bin/python /home/dotcloud/current/cellhelmet/manage.py celeryd -E -l info -c 2
stderr_logfile = /var/log/supervisor/%(program_name)s_error.log
stdout_logfile = /var/log/supervisor/%(program_name)s.log

[program:celerycam]
command = /home/dotcloud/env/bin/python /home/dotcloud/current/cellhelmet/manage.py     celerycam
stderr_logfile = /var/log/supervisor/%(program_name)s_error.log
stdout_logfile = /var/log/supervisor/%(program_name)s.log
Solution

  • The issue was that I had removed this line from the supervisord.conf file:

    directory = /home/dotcloud/current/cellhelmet

    That caused it to search from the root directory i'm assuming which gave me the permission denied error. It certainly cleared it up for me though.
