The Aloha control was not registered on the aspx page.

To resolve the issue, on each server:

  1. Make a backup copy of C:\\Workarea\tasks.aspx .
  2. Add the line below as line 3 in the file 
    <%@ register tagprefix="ektron" tagname="AlohaEditor" src="controls/Editor/Aloha.ascx" %>
  3. Save the file.

After the change, the first lines of the file should be:

<%@ page language="C#" autoeventwireup="true" validaterequest="false" inherits="tasks" codefile="tasks.aspx.cs" %>
<%@ register tagprefix="ektron" tagname="AlohaEditor" src="controls/Editor/Aloha.ascx" %> 
<%@ register tagprefix="ektron" tagname="ContentDesigner" src="controls/Editor/ContentDesignerWithValidator.ascx" %>
<%@ register tagprefix="uxEktron" tagname="Paging" src="controls/paging/paging.ascx" %>
