Commands to bring over the error files, once you're in /var/www/server/<site>/web/error/: 
rsync -av dev55:/var/www/server/dev.gaslightmedia.com/web/error/404.html .
rsync -av dev55:/var/www/server/dev.gaslightmedia.com/web/error/503.html .
rsync -av dev55:/var/www/server/dev.gaslightmedia.com/web/error/504.html .
rsync -av dev55:/var/www/server/dev.gaslightmedia.com/web/error/style.css .

(You may at this point receive an error of being unable to copy the files. This usually means the permissions for 
the /web directory were not properly set during the server/wordpress setup. A simple "sudo chmod -R g+rw web" in 
the site's root directory should resolve this.)

After that, what has to be done is (using any text editor aside from the ancient and deprecated evil that is vim):
 - (if phone numbers are used) change the phone number in 404, 503, 504
 - (if logos are used) place a new logo named 'logo.png' in the /var/www/server/<site>/web/error/ folder
 - change the 'Home' link in 404.html to go to http://www.<site><TLD> (This should link to the LIVE site, even if it
   is not finished setting up yet. For testing purposes you can temporarily set it to the dev site)
 - Part of the files will have to be uncommented to show up as needed. If the 404 page has either a phone number OR a
   logo, then remove the "contain" class from each. If it has both, keep this class.
 - Test the 404 page for the site being set up currently, to make sure the layout is properly displaying.
   An example of the 404 can be accessed by going to a bad page such as: http://dev.gaslightmedia.com/nonsensepage
