You didn't tell, do you have a photons statement in the global_settings? 
That is essential.

either:
global_settings {
   photons {
     spacing 0.02
   }
}

or:
global_settings {
   photons {
     count 1000
   }
}

Also, the photons-receiving objects need a photons definition, like the 
following example:

plane {
   y, 0
   texture {
     pigment { color srgb <1.0, 0.8, 0.6> }
   }
    photons {collect on}
}

Maybe also the light source:

light_source {
   <100, 300, 500>
   color rgb 1.0
   parallel
   photons {
     refraction on
     reflection on
   }
}

See the appropriate sections in the docs.
