When starting /etc/init.d/celeryd I get the following error below. I made sure all the directories are read and writable with the user that I am starting it as. I even did touch file to make sure in all the places that there is a directive for a file to write to. 

(community)community@community:~$ /etc/init.d/celeryd  start
bot_server.settings.production
celery multi v3.1.11 (Cipater)

OSError errno 1 looks like a permissions issue: OSError: [Error 1] Operation not permitted

Looks like the issue is on os.initgroups, which calls initgroups on the system -- see man initgroups

From your prompt it looks like you're using some sort of role account, I'd guess there is some issue with how your role/group permissions are set up with respect to the files django is accessing.

Edit: From man initgroups:

DESCRIPTION
   The initgroups() function initializes the group access list by reading
   the group database /etc/group and using all groups of which user is a member.
   The additional group group is also added to the list.

Can community read /etc/group?

  • `community` is the user and owner of that python environment. that user has total access to all the django files. – dman May 28 '14 at 21:09
  • Can community read /etc/group? `ls -l /etc/group` If not, would likely cause initgroups to fail. You can further debug by trying to run `initgroups` in the command line; what fails/succeeds there should be the same as in python, but you'll get more verbose error messages. – metaperture May 28 '14 at 22:24
