I'm sorry if this is obvious but I've searched pretty extensively and not been able to find anything.

I moved an existing site to a new host with many, many changes and wasn't able to enter orders afterwards. So I backed off and did a new full install but found the problem exists even on a new install.

The install went completely normally. All fields that are configured at install time are all set up correctly. However, once installed I can't make any changes without zeroing out the record I'm trying to change.

The issue is that any time I try and make a change in the admin interface instead of making the change the value of that field is set to null. So for instance if I edit the store address it will be set to "" after the edit. I've confirmed that the values of edit fields are indeed set to null in the database.

I'm using a brand new install of 1.3.8a. Apache is 2.2.11.

PHP is 5.2.8

'./configure' '--prefix=/usr/local/php5' '--enable-force-cgi-redirect' '--enable-fastcgi' '--with-readline' '--enable-sigchild' '--with-config-file-path=/usr/local/php5/lib' '--disable-safe-mode' '--enable-zend-multibyte' '--enable-mod-charset' '--enable-sigchild' '--disable-debug' '--enable-filter' '--enable-calendar' '--enable-exif' '--with-pcre-regex' '--with-pgsql' '--with-mysql=/usr' '--with-pdo-mysql=/usr' '--with-gd' '--with-jpeg-dir=/usr' '--with-png-dir=/usr' '--with-zlib-dir=/usr' '--with-xpm-dir=/usr' '--with-freetype-dir=/usr' '--enable-gd-native-ttf' '--enable-gd-jis-conv' '--with-zlib-dir' '--with-bz2' '--with-curl' '--with-openssl' '--with-ldap' '--with-ldap-sasl' '--with-db4' '--enable-mbstring' '--with-imap-ssl=/usr' '--with-imap=/usr/local/lib/c-client'

The biggest difference on this host is that PHP is set to run fastcgi. I've seen the warnings about fastcgi in the installer but everything else I've seen says that it works fine with fastcgi.

Is there something special I need to do with fastcgi?
