Reading several sources there is conflicting information as to what is the preferred way to implement PHP scripts. It appears that mod_php (how we do things now) is deprecated so I would like to take advantage of a server change to do things "right".
The documentation on mod_fcgid seems to stop in 2013 with the release of version 2.3.9, so I assume that this is no longer considered to be a good approach. The link to mod_fastcgi on the Apache documentation page leads to a static billboard page for Chelsea Networks with no links and a last maintained date in 2002, so it doesn't seem to be current either. This page says to use Netscape to view it (?) mod_proxy_fcgi seems to be in current use, but right up front is the caveat that there is no starter for the script. My guess would be that some sort of a wrapper is required to insert the path to the executable, but no documentation has appeared so far. Using mod_proxy_fcgi also raises the issue of what to proxy to. The PHP installation (version 7.1.3) includes a php-fpm module but the documentation for it on the PHP web site is rather sparse - ie non- existent. A Google search comes up with a web site php-fpm.org, but the last entry on the news page is 29 Nov, 2011. Doesn't sound like this is the preferred path! The support link here says "Wiki is now offline, sorry. Use PHP 5.3.3+ now, and use php.net!". This is a very back level of PHP! So, how is the best way to proceed? As always, thanks to those who will respond.
