[geeklog-devtalk] DB writes appear to silently fail

[Steve Sloan]

I've recently migrated my geeklog (1.3.9) installs to a new server (running 
Fedora 2), and ever since they've been broken in a very strange way:  the 
sites display just fine, and hit counters update, but anytime I try to make 
any change -- leave a comment, post a story, update a static page -- nothing 
happens.  It's as if it's trying to update the DB and failing, but there's no 
mention of it in any of the logs.

When I migrated I simply copied the geeklog trees over and did a dump/restore 
of the DB.  I replicated the PHP (4.3.8) and Apache (2.0.50) configs, so 
nothing should have changed there.   I've also verified that I can make the DB 
change manually, connected as the user specified in the config.  I even tried 
doing it in multiple browsers, just in case.

Anyone have any ideas?
