You'll need to force the install of the Net::Z3950::ZOOM CPAN module
eventually, although that's not causing the main problem that we're
seeing below. Net::Z3950::ZOOM is mostly needed for importing records
from Z39.50 servers.

Good, good.

Hmm, this is bad. Does your /openils/conf/opensrf.xml file have any
database connections defined? It sounds like the connection info is all
blank.

This could happen, I suppose, if the eg_db_config.pl script was run with
blank values for the database name / hostname / port / user / password
arguments.

Right, you don't need a working database connection to see the OPAC (but
you do need it for the OPAC to work). I would suggest looking in
opensrf.xml for <database> elements and ensuring that the connection
information is all set correctly, then run settings-tester.pl again.
