after some googling I found out that Max-All-Session attribute have to
be in dictionary so I added in dictionary file and all went well.

But I still need answer on sqlcounter.conf  Can freeradius 2 do
accounting based on Max-All-Session by default ( I already enabled the
accounting via sql)? or i have to follow the instruction based on the
wiki I mentioned earlier?

Thanks again
