You mean - links generated by php scripts on your site, right?  
Most likely they need params you don't set in your config 
(i.e. REQUEST_URI) to construct correct links.

It's really bad idea to set fastcgi_param's by hand unless you 
understand what you are doing and have a good reason to.  Use 
"include fastcgi.conf" instead.
