I'll answer the quick ones first:

- The default avatar is broken for new users. Uploading a new avatar will save properly, but the default is currently broken. Also, attempting to crop a new avatar causes a server 500 error page.
If I hadn't seen this before, I'd be asking for the contents of the server 500 error page - always useful for us. But in fact, this looks like PILLOW is missing from your install.
http://trac.openmicroscopy.org/ome/ticket/12328 - I submitted this one some time back to the team for one of our own test servers where I witnessed exactly this.

This also points to a missing PILLOW installation. See https://www.openmicroscopy.org/site/sup ... -libraries
Hopefully double checking your PILLOW install is good (an issue I came across on CentOS was missing PILLOW prerequisites, so although the PILLOW install seemed complete, it was missing major functionality since I hadn't made sure it's own prerequisites were there - this is well documented here: http://pillow.readthedocs.org/en/latest ... ation.html).
All the best,
