hello,
In our upcoming (honest guvnor) book, http://mappinghacks.com/ , there are a couple of openguides 'hacks' which i made. the first just describing how to do the setup, the second a simple map-making data-slurping thing.
The first one, in partic, i wrote 3 or so months ago, understand the install process has changed / simplified since, and would appreciate another pair of eyes cast over it to check it's sane:
http://mappinghacks.com/openguides/setting_up_openguides.doc
the second i wrote more recently, but there may be thinkoids in it:
http://mappinghacks.com/openguides/mapping_openguides.doc
(forgive the .docs, that's what ORA stipulates. glad to be getting the plug in for OG, anyway)

In the hack title, s/OpenGuide/Open Guide/ (http://openguides.org/page/branding)
I believe the first three cpan steps shouldn't be necessary, since
install OpenGuides
should pull in all the required dependencies. If not, that's a bug in OpenGuides (I haven't tried installing it from scratch from CPAN for a while, though). It might be worth changing your ps | grep line to look for processes called httpd too.
As resident CPAN.pm-hater, may I suggest that you slip in a mention of the fact that you can apt-get openguides on Debian? I realise that this may spoil the flow of the tutorial, but maybe something along the lines of
(if you are running Debian, you can instead install using "apt-get"; see http://openguides.org/ for more information)
would be non-intrusive?
(forgive the .docs, that's what ORA stipulates.
The documents seem to be missing figures when I view them in OpenOffice. Is this a bug?

It's good to see OG get more publicity! Good luck with your deadline :)
Cheers,
Dominic.

Well, it didn't seem to pull in Config::Tiny for me using CPANPLUS and I'm not sure it installed a database either. Although I imagine I had a few DBD modules kicking about anyway.
This was a few versions back though.

Missing figures in Word too.

I was recently given a little patch that allows you to link directly to maps on streetmap.co.uk. Apparently it's not included in the distribution because streetmap.co.uk don't want people linking directly. Since they're morons, I will shortly get around to making it work with multimap.com who I prefer anyway and have an enlightened policy on linking.
Indeed, they encourage it and allow you to set the map title (see map link on http://engineer.openguides.org/?Millenium_Bridge%2C_London).
Longer-term project is to hack in Lat/Long support for non-UK locations. I just need to learn more about Open Guides code.
