Didn't get a lot of help on the PHP list but the one fellow who tried is still running PHP-5. So, I backed off to PHP-5.6.30 which is the most recent stable version of PHP-5 and it worked perfectly. If you look at the PHP-7.1.3 or 7.1.5 source in fpm_main.c there is a lot of commentary about being unable to recover the various script paths when called from Apache. This is where the problem that I encountered was. So, there are a few updates required to the Apache documentation, as found in the fpm wiki: 1. don't use PHP-7 fpm since as of right now it won't work. A good programmer (not me!) might be able to fix it but then you would have a one- off and would have to support yourself. 2. be careful, the ProxyPassMatch value for fcgi:// should not contain a trailing '/' because it leads to double '//' in the path recovered by php- fpm. eg: ProxyPassMatch "^/.*\.php(/.*)?$" fcgi://127.0.0.1:9000/<path-to-script> and NOT: ProxyPassMatch "^/.*\.php(/.*)?$" fcgi://127.0.0.1:9000/<path-to-script>/ This will work on UNIX based systems but seems to confuse php-fpm.
