Rather than muck around with permissions – agree with Dermot – use copy() rather than move_uploaded_file(). I’m running Apache on Windows and it worked perfectly for me.

I am super glad I found this thread – I was getting that 500 error with uploading PDFs through Joomla’s media manager on an IIS7.5 install, and matching the permissions on my web directory and temp directory completely fixed the problem. Thanks!

I subscribe to Ben’s words:
“THANKS A LOT!!!

THANKS A LOT!!!
THANKS A LOT!!!

I was getting crazy with the 500 error page on each upload…
