Lightsail - (70007)The timeout specified has expired

I've just migrated a joomla site to a new lightsail instance

After 5 hours, i'm regretting choosing lightsail.!!! I cannot seem to upload anything over approx 2mb via the joomla admin.

it times out in less than 30 secs. The biggest file i've managed to upoad is 1.3mb

If anyone has any advice that would be greatly appreciated!

i get a "Request Timeout Server timeout waiting for the HTTP request from the client"

with the following error in the error_log

proxy_fcgi:error (70007)The timeout specified has expired: AH01075: Error dispatching request to : (reading input brigade)

i've read through the forums, I tried several things, nothing is working

in /opt/bitnami/php/etc/php.ini i've increased the following

max_execution_time = 900
memory_limit = 256M

in /opt/bitnami/apache2/conf/php-fpm-apache.conf updated the timout line below from 300 to 1200

<Proxy "unix:/opt/bitnami/php/var/run/www.sock|fcgi://www-fpm" timeout=1200>

I'm on the Smallest 512 Lightsail with a LAMP stack, php 7 and using the db on the instance (i manually set up the app, i did not choose the joomla stack when i started the instance)

This is my first lightsail app, i dont know if i've missed anything.

It doesn't receive hardly any traffic at all, but it needs to be able to atleast upload 5-10mb files.
