Django Celery beat crashes on start

I have recently configured a new server with RabbitMQ and Celery. When I try to start Celerybeat on the mac开发者_运维知识库hine it starts for a few seconds and stops. I have given right permissions to the log files and changed the owners to the Application user. I have also checked the celerybeat.log file and NO errors are registered.

I tried to start it this way in the project folder:

./manage.py celerybeat

And I got this error:

[2010-12-01 09:59:46,127: INFO/MainProcess] process shutting down

Could someone please point me in the right direction here.

First thing to do in my opinion and launch it for show you all the output in console and by using the base command celeryd. Try

python manage.py celeryd -B -l DEBUG

I know that a recent update of celery have problem with log files if you launch it with an old version of python (less than 2.6).
