Permission problems prevent celery from running as daemon?

I'm currently having some trouble running celery as daemon. I use apache to serve my Django application, so I set uid and gid in celery setting all as "www-data". There are 2 places I know so far that need access permission: /var/log/celery/*.log, /var/run/celery/*.pid, and I already set them owned by "www-data". However, celery couldn't get started when I run sudo service celeryd start. If I get rid of the --uid and --gid option for the command, celery could get started by user "root".

One other thing I noticed is that if I could start celery using "root", it will put some files like: celery.bak, celery.dat, celery.dir in my CELERYD_CHDIR, which is my django application directory. I also changed the application directory owned by "www-data", celery still couldn't get started. I copied all the setting files from another machine in which celery runs fine, so I suppose it's not my setting's problem. Does anyone have any clue? Thanks.

Su to celery user and start celery from the command line. Most likely you have an app log, not celery, that you need permission for.
