Django cookiecutter Project code won't run

I'm currently working on a django project built with django cookiecutter. I'm running both redis server and the redis client but anytime I run the django server it keeps giving the below error

raise ImproperlyConfigured(error_msg)
django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Set the CELERY_BROKER_URL environment variable

Below is the configurations of my .env file in my config folder

Solution

  • I think you need to setting.py Configure celery in the file_ BROKER_ URL, as follows:

    CELERY_BROKER_URL = 'redis://hostname:6379/6'

    The last bit 6 is the number represents the databases of Redis, 0-15 is available.
