inspect the session/ folder and clean it. Then try again with your preferred browser and see if a file is created. Then make sure that another file doesn't get created as long as you don't clear the cache/open the page with another browser Then make sure that for every time you store something in session (session.something = 1) the session file is updated (watch the last modified time)
