Official celery project for django is not working

Question

I am using the official celery project for django, but it is not working on my machine.

I have installed all the necessary modules, and am using the example given in the link: Example Django project using Celery.

I have already searched for the same error and used some solutions, but no solution fixed my problem. When I use the command: celery -A proj worker -l INFO, I get this response:

As I said I am using the source code itself, can anyone tell me how I can solve this problem?

Celery doesn't support Windows.

But you can use eventlet to run it on Win, as described here

Also, make sure, that you have installed RabbitMQ locally and it's running in port 5672. Also, you need to specify credentials for amqp server in settings.py

From your guide

The settings file assumes that rabbitmq-server is running on localhost using the default ports.

Also, you can run amqp server as docker container. It could be easier option than installing it locally:

docker run -d -p 5672:5672 -p 15672:15672 rabbitmq:3-management
