[rabbitmq-discuss] Failure to Connect RabbitMQ/Celery across two EC2 instances

Basically what I'm trying to do is get celery/rabbitmq working properly 
across (2) ec2 instances. To pass a silly task in `tasks.py` for processing 
to rabbitmq.

* 1. Instance 1* - Houses rabbitMQ

This currently runs RabbitMQ fine. If I run `sudo rabbitmqctl status` it 
outputs:

    Status of node 'rabbit at ip-xx-xxx-xxx-xx' ...
>     [{pid,786},
>

*2. Instance 2* - Houses Celery

I'm trying to run celery on `instance 2` against Instance 1 using the 
following in terminal:

celery -A tasks worker
>

I have a file `*celeryconfig.py*`:

    BROKER_URL = 
> 'amqp://ec2celeryuser:mypasshere@xx.xxx.xx.xx:5672/celeryserver1/'
>     
>     #CELERY SETTINGS
>     CELERY_IMPORTS = ("tasks",)
>     
>     CELERY_RESULT_BACKEND = "amqp"
>

I have a file `*client.py*`:

    from tasks import add
>     
>     result = add.delay(4, 4) # call task
>     result_sum = result.get(timeout=5) # wait to get result for a maximum 
> of 5 seconds
>

I have a file `*tasks.py*`:

    from celery import Celery
>     
>     app = Celery('tasks', 
> broker='amqp://ec2celeryuser:mypasshere@xx.xxx.xx.xx:5672/celeryserver1/')
>     
>     @app.task
>     def add(x, y):
>         return x + y
>

I've properly setup a `vhost`, a user `ec2celeryuser`, and gave this user 
permissions of:

    sudo rabbitmqctl set_permissions -p /celeryserver1 ec2celeryuser ".*" 
> ".*" ".*"
>

if I do: `sudo rabbitmqctl list_users` on RabbitMQ (instance 1) it shows:
>

    ec2celeryuser    []
>     guest    [administrator
>

I've tried *both usernames* with their passwords, but no change.

What am I doing wrong here? Clearly there is a connection issue, but what 
am I doing wrong?


*I've been following these without much luck.*
