You may find some people still able to help you with cocoon 1.x, but I would _highly_ suggest ignoring that now outdated chapter, and using the current release version 2.0.4 which is significantly changed and improved from the 1.8.x version. You'll find good up to date installation instructions, and a lot more people here that will be able to help you if something goes wrong.
There are several good books now available for Cocoon 2 if you want to go that route, but you should also be able to make good headway using the provided documentation and samples, as well as the breeding ground for new documentation, http://wiki.cocoondev.org.
