When an anonymous or registered user goes to my front page, my announcements module shows "An error has occurred. Error: News is currently unavailable." When an administrator views it everything shows up fine.

This is a fresh install of the newest version of DNN4. I created a second portal and added a few modules, but have configured very little so far.

Here's what I'm seeing show up in the logs when a user tries to view the announcements.

This is occuring on all pages where I have announcements modules, not just the homepage.
