Hi everyone.

Ok, so we have a script that was working find on the hosting service "site5" back in 2014. Resurrecting the script on leaseweb.com, we need to Add a Password via a .cgi file where the Page displays the following: 

"Add password for MD5 verification of posts."
Enter Password: 123456

MD5 code: e10adc3949ba59abbe56e057f20f883e

[download]

Well, the hash is not appearing. Just "MD5 code:" with no code display.

In the error log we see this: 

[cgi:error] AH01215: Try `/usr/bin/md5sum --help' for more information
+.: /home/beee001/public_html/cgi-bin/eposturl.cgi
[cgi:error] AH01215: /usr/bin/md5sum: unrecognized option '--string=12
+3456': /home/beee001/public_html/cgi-bin/eposturl.cgi

[download]

Here is the full code:
