Hi Cuppa,
I am having similar troubles. I'm looking right at the install file I downloaded and it's MAC_COH_Test_Server_US.dmg. I followed all the instructions from the site on how to download and install and attempted to edit the info file as you suggested as well. Nothing is working. I'd rather not have to download and reinstall multiple times to get it to work (installing this took 3.5 hours) so any fixes are welcome.
Here's the last few instances in my console after editing the text file.
