[wp-edu] Image upload error (500) on some computers, but not others

[Jess Planck]

This old note from Otto might help:

Browser cache, faulty flash plugin, php versions, file permissions. Try switching to the manual uploader too. I've seen things with mod_security (or selinux) cause some browser/os specific error 500 issues. You might really need to look through ALL the logging for your web server to track this down.

When using Browser uploader, we get a 500 Internal Server Error. It happens on all browsers across the computers we've had it reported on. However, I've tested it on WinXP, OSX, and Win7Ultimate and the same error will not occur, images upload without any problem.
