Q:

Running Celery as root

I need to run my Django along with Celery as root for access reasons. It says I need to set C_FORCE_ROOT environment variable. How/where do I set the environment variable?

A:

You can set it to true like this:
# export C_FORCE_ROOT="true"

Then make sure it is set as an env. variable
# echo $C_FORCE_ROOT
true

But make sure to make it permanent, as this will vanish with the next restart
Have fun :) !!

A:

1st solution - Manually type command at terminal
$ export C_FORCE_ROOT='true'

2nd solution - Edit shell configuration
$ vi ~/.bashrc

    # add following line
    export C_FORCE_ROOT='true'

$ source ~/.bashrc

3rd solution - Edit manage.py of Django
import os 

if __name__ == '__main__':
    os.environ.setdefault('C_FORCE_ROOT', 'true')
    os.environ.setdefault('DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE', '{PATH TO SETTINGS FILE}')

    execute_from_command_line(sys.argv)
