I realize that general exceptions are difficult, but I have 2 fairly specific questions.  Running DNN 4.0.2 - getting the errors below in the log file (no errors on the regular tabs of the site).  I'm not using using an ORM tool (and so NOT using the DNN Business Controller).

So, my questions are:

  • could the fact that I am not entering a "Controller Class:" in the Module definition be causing the errors below? 
  • If so, what should I enter instead since I'm not using the DNN Business Controller?

Thanks!

Sorry, I meant to say "I'm using an ORM tool (and so NOT using the DNN Business Controller)."

I did some more investigation and it turns out that the errors occur in pairs - 4 pairs (8 total) about every 1/2 hr.  So, I looked at the schedule and only thing scheduled to run every 1/2 hour is: DotNetNuke.Services.Search.SearchEngineScheduler, DOTNETNUKE.  So, I folowed the advice in: http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Community/ForumsDotNetNuke/tabid/795/forumid/92/threadid/9003/threadpage/0/scope/posts/Default.aspx, but unfortunately, I'm still getting the errors.

When I manually re-indexed, the errors in the log had a bit more information (I replaced the PortalName, Servername and URL with x's).  Any help/suggestions would be appreciated:
