I have access to two servers and have tried uploading to both and both times get the error

What am i missing? Thanks

The files do not exist in the location you are referencing them. — alex
It looks like you have an extra ../ on the paths of the broken includes — currently they're referencing files in the public_html directory, which I'm guessing is incorrect. — Jon Gauthier

If it's one directory above, use ../ instead of ../../

Example:

<?php include("../head.php"); ?>

That is why the form appears and the others don't :)
