Thought I'd make a separate thread about this, instead of constantly derailing update posts about this
Ever since the SSL certificate for the website expired, it's been causing browsers to throw ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR when they try to visit https://hazeron.com/. Haxus mentioned he doesn't need to renew the certificate given the site handles no sensitive data, so it should be possible to redirect the HTTPS URL to the regular HTTP one in Apache, something like this should work in the config, with the SSL part of the config disabled of course:
In addition, the Wiki login hasn't worked properly for a long time too. It gives strange cookie errors when I try to login normally, but for some reason, it works only if I login through incognito mode on Chrome:

Me and Dean assumed this (and other weird wiki issues) were also caused by the SSL expiration, but if not, it could just be a generic issue with our MediaWiki being extremely outdated. It's on version 1.24.2, which is very out of date, and needs updating to the latest version. This is done in 2 steps, first to 1.35, and then to 1.41, with a full official guide being provided here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Upgrading
In short, the newer version is unpacked into a new directory, the relevant customized/configured files are copied over, the database update script is ran, and then the directories are swapped so the webserver serves the new version
MyBB also needs updating, but given the forum seems to still work fine unlike the wiki, it might not be all that important currently, unless there's some critical security issue
