I am getting this error for the File Library Search. It looks like it is telling me ALL the memory is used which is 8 gig. Do these things need rebooted occasionally to free up memory?

<b>Fatal error</b>: Allowed memory size of 73400320 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 109 bytes) in <b>/home/railwork/public_html/libraries/joomla/language/language.php</b> on line <b>797</b><br />

*sigh*
I actually deal with this at work, but its with java servlets.
It sounds like PHP is not running garbage collection properly. From what I can tell we are running PHP v5.3.23 (Released: 22 Aug 2013) and the latest is 5.5.12 (May 1st 2014). I haven't dug into what the major differences are between 5.3 and 5.5, so I can't say that moving to the lastest will fix this problem (it may cause other problems).
Hopefully someone else can jump in give us a few more clues to go after.

I have no server experience, but I came up with this little bit of info using the error code Bob.
It doesn't come out to 8Gb but 8 Mb and it is server related.

I will try upping the memory, I thought it was gigs not megs. I already change max uploading to 200 meg instead of the normal 2 meg allowed. Now to find the controls again, I only have about 135 menu options on the server.

The logging in was not implemented yet or you would be. When we installed it, the site went into a loop and used up all MySQL connections, had to force a hard reboot to get it back under control. Once I get Memorial Day out of the way in the real world I can get back to working on things.
I always come here first with any problem I have, better to ask people you like than people you do not even know. Lots of smart cookies here.

It was already at 68 meg, I upped it to 128 and still have the error. Can't think about it any more today, time to play and relax. Too much stress at work 7 days before Memorial Day.

I found the problem. Before having a dedicated server we had to put a php.ini file in the site's root to override the server settings. That's how we got 200 meg uploads and bigger pictures in the forum. It was only set to 70 meg for scripting. The file library got bigger since then and needed more memory for sorting. I have it set at 128 meg now and it is working again. I was changing the server setting as I forgot about the special php.ini.

I'm a bit late to the party, but glad to hear you have things sorted, Bob.
BTW, what control panel are you using? I'm running WHM which runs pretty darn well.

I have a WHM for the dedicated server and individual cpanel for the site. I had a WHM for my old reseller account but it only had about 1/3 of the options this one has. I can from the looks of it, do anything to this server, as if it were actually mine.
