How do I increase PHP request length (FastCGI/CGI) to upload larger images?

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.
