Start by looking in the log file (usually in the rancid directory structure,
try ~/var/rancid/logs (though I think depending on how installed it may be
elsewhere). Find the latest log, look at it, see what is happening.
If it's not there (i.e. no logs) rancid is probably not starting. Restarting
it depends on linux variant, but if a reboot is possible just reboot.
If the log is there and it gives an error, start with that as it should give a
clue. Post results if you need further help after seeing that.
There are also lots of debugging postings on the net (just try searching for
rancid debug), indeed one technique is to follow the install instructions after
the install where it describes how to test login, etc.

Subject: [rancid] Rancid not updating
Community;
I am new to the company, and my predecessor had setup Rancid to collect all our
configs and do the comparisons. He also used CVS to display the configs on a
webpage. I have no experience with Rancid nor CVS and I was wondering if I
could get some assistance. Here is my issue. I am a Windows guy, and am
learning Linux.
I made a small change on one of my routers to SNMP, and wanted to see if Rancid
would pick it up. The date on the file still shows 7 months ago, and not the
change I made earlier today. We make changes almost daily for VLANS, etc, and
nothing is showing updated.
The schedule to download and send config difference emails is every hour. I
have seen multiple emails, but nothing with my change in it. I also went into
the Rancid directory structure in Linux and the date in there is also 7 months
old. Is there anything you can do to assist?
Thank you!
Larry L.
