Answer 1

/home/ae504/public_html/AuctionSystem/View/Template/header.phtml

The file doesn't exist or is not readable. Simple *nix error

Either your templating engine is not producing it, or it is being produced but not readable. Given your error report, there is no way of telling. Suggest you go look at whatever framework you are using.
