Might need to check your web servers error log to see if there's a specific
reason. Might be something as goofy as a case-sensitive file name (e.g.
"PickAColor.php" instead of "pickacolor.php") where it can't locate the file, or
might be pointing to the wrong location in your form's action.

If the file is there, maybe trying a simple test first to make sure you can get
PHP working in your configuration, such as...
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
