python - Celery Received unregistered task of type (run example)

Question

I'm trying to run example from Celery documentation.

I run: celeryd --loglevel=INFO

/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/celery/loaders/default.py:64: NotConfigured: No 'celeryconfig' module found! Please make sure it exists and is available to Python.
  "is available to Python." % (configname, )))

from celery.task import task

@task

    return x + y

run_task.py:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from tasks import add
result = add.delay(4, 4)
print (result)
print (result.ready())
print (result.get())

In same folder celeryconfig.py:

CELERY_IMPORTS = ("tasks", )
CELERY_RESULT_BACKEND = "amqp"

When I run "run_task.py":

on python console

errors on celeryd server

[2012-03-19 04:34:14,913: ERROR/MainProcess] Received unregistered task of type 'tasks.add'.
The message has been ignored and discarded.

Did you remember to import the module containing this task?
Or maybe you are using relative imports?
Please see http://bit.ly/gLye1c for more information.

The full contents of the message body was:
{'retries': 0, 'task': 'tasks.add', 'utc': False, 'args': (4, 4), 'expires': None, 'eta': None, 'kwargs': {}, 'id': '841bc21f-8124-436b-92f1-e3b62cafdfe7'}

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/celery/worker/consumer.py", line 444, in receive_message
    self.strategies[name](message, body, message.ack_log_error)
KeyError: 'tasks.add'

Please explain what's the problem.

I think you need to restart the worker server. I meet the same problem and solve it by restarting.
