Django Celery w/ Amazon RDS and Memcached

[Joey Espinosa]

Hey guys, I'm having an issue with running Celery on an EC2 instance, using the database transport (django://) and memcached as the cache backend.

I have Celery running via Supervisor, and I can tail the log and see that it's successfully getting a specific task (for reloading the database). However, it never completes, and it just hangs. This exact scenario works perfectly on my own local machine running the same OS, same build of the code, and MySQL 5.5 instead of RDS.

Has anyone else run into similar issues? Note: I can't switch to PostgreSQL (though I'd love to), so I don't have many options in the way of databases. I can always pitch a solution though. Thanks in advance.

Nevermind, everyone. Turned out to be simply my fault (had a shell connection to the database open). *facepalm*

At the risk of embarrassing myself even more than you were, why is that
a problem?

Sorry, just saw this. Presumably I had some sort of lock on the database which was preventing the async task from reloading a database dump. As soon as I exited the database shell, the task finished successfully.
