session doesn't work. why?

[Anon]

I tried simple test:
session_start();
print($counter);
$counter++;
session_register("counter");

but it doesn't work.
seemed that it doesn't write anything to /tmp/sess_*

I even tried "Example 4. Usage of session_set_save_handler()" from documentation but it doesn't print expected output. didn't print:
write (f08b925af0ecb52bdd2de97d95cdbe6b, foo|i:2😉
close

why???

I tried php-cgi gotton from ftp.debian.org and all worked OK.
therefore something wrong with compilation, yes?

I configure it so:
./configure --with-apache=/usr/local/apache/src --with-mod_charset --with-config-file-path=/usr/local/etc --with-mysql --enable-track-vars

what's wrong?
thanx

Now it works. may be somebody will be interested.

I ran apache from inetd.
Now it runs as daemon. and works OK.

bug...
