Most likely you attempted to do something like

http {
fastcgi_param ...
...
server {
...
location ... {
fastcgi_param ...
...
}
}
}

This won't work due to inheritance rules for array-type
directives, see here:

http://wiki.nginx.org/NginxHttpFcgiModule#fastcgi_param

"Directives set in current level clear any previously defined
directives for the current level."

You have to define all fastcgi_param directives at the same level,
i.e.

location ... {
fastcgi_param ...
fastcgi_param ...
...
}

or

http {
fastcgi_param ...
fastcgi_param ...
...
}
