I am using the One-Click Wordpress Image.
I have been unable to upload images to wordpress that are larger than ~128KB. I’ve tried various fixes and suggestions from an outside community from bypassing security features on .htaccess to playing with memory limits on php.ini but to no avail-
However, I do note that the similarities of my issue bare very closely to PHP using FastCGI module, which defaults the HTTP request length to 128KB.
So I think this is where my problem lies since I seem to be unable to upload images from about 100~KB onwards
Unfortunately- I can’t find anywhere in my /apache2 and /php5 folder the existence of such module. Only CGI module seems to exist in the mods-available, so it isn’t enabled at all.
Some notes:
I do not get flagged for error on console or on the dashboard during upload. It just hits a certain percentage really quickly and never moves. The smaller the image size the higher the percentage uploaded before stalling.

I’d like to update that it turns out I am able to upload any and all images using Microsoft Edge browser- and not Chrome and Firefox.
Which is a glimmer of hope yet.
The PHP FastCGI set up works by running a few PHP workers as their own processes and having Apache communicate with them through the FastCGI protocol, instead of Apache running php as part of its own workers. Create a file in your document root with the following contents:
<?php
phpinfo();
Once you browse to it, you will see a list with PHP’s configuration options. Check the following options and see if the changes that you made took effect.
- upload_max_filesize
- post_max_size
If not, you will need to edit /etc/php5/fpm/php.ini accordingly.
Don’t forget to restart the php5-fpm service after editing the config files. I would also recommend checking php’s error logs and seeing if that have any errors.
/var/log/apache2/error.log/var/log/upstart/php5-fpm.log
