HTTP Error on Media Upload

    I have had the problem since this morning (possibly longer), this is the first time I had tried to upload anything this size before but my upload limit is at 100mb, well over the 78mb file (don’t judge).
    This is something I REALLY need to get fixed, the file I am trying to upload is a demo for a product I am working on at the moment, a lot of people wanted a demo but I find out today after making one that I can infact not even upload the damn thing, again this seems to be the HTTP error caused by large file sizes, I have deactivated all plugins and even tried it on my other site, same thing.

    – Check the error logs on your server for a more specific error message. If you need help locating them, ask your hosting provider to help you with that.

    1and1 do not give customers access to the error logs unfortunately, I have asked before when problems have occurred with other things.

    – check your uploads path in Dashboard > Settings > Media, make sure it’s not pointing to a different path . . . normally this would be blank.
    – confirm that the wp-content/uploads directory and those files exist.
    – Try changing the permissions on the wp-content directory to 766. If you still have problems, try 767, 775 or 777.
    – Once your uploads are working, change the permissions on wp-content back to 755 again (very important for security reasons!) and check that everything still works OK
    – If the above steps do not help, try deactivating ALL plugins temporarily to narrow down the problem. If the problem goes away, activate them individually (one-by-one) to find the problematic plugin.

    In Dashboard>Settings>Media there is nothing displaying any paths, only different image sizes, and a tick-box for organising, I have disabled all plugins again, but still get the error, I am starting to think this maybe a problem with WordPress itself when uploading large file sizes.
    I have changed the permissions via FileZilla to all mentioned, no fix yet.
