Website move to new server 404 error "script not found or unable to stat: /usr/local/cpanel/cgi-sys/ea-php56"

We've moved a non-wordpress website running on ea-php56 to a new server with ea-php56 installed with several sites happily using it (contrary to our suggestions). The site throws a 404 error and the logs have these entries:

[Wed Apr 13 08:02:39.904671 2022] [cgid:error] [pid 944046:tid 47178747885312] [client 123.456.789:59048] AH01264: script not found or unable to stat: /usr/local/cpanel/cgi-sys/ea-php56, referer: http://www.domain.tld/

Sure enough:

Customer is in the process of updating but would really like his website to work. What, where, how?
