Perch Adding Unwanted Page Automatically
This is a bit of a weird bug - and perhaps there's an obvious solution, but I'm yet to find it!
I have a site running Perch: www.whitbylifeboat.org.uk
Here is the diagnostic report:
Perch: 2.8.21, PHP: 5.5.30, MySQL: mysqlnd 5.0.11-dev - 20120503 - $Id: 15d5c781cfcad91193dceae1d2cdd127674ddb3e $, with PDO

The Bug
Occassionally, the site will add a new page to the pages list and navigation which has the same name as the URL of the site 'whitbylifeboat.org.uk'. There doesn't appear to be a pattern to when the additional page is created - though it may be triggered by logging into the admin system, but because it doesn't happen every time it's difficult to tell.
Has anyone else had a similar issue?
Thanks in advance of any suggestions!
Does your hosting enable you to access the site by any other path? Like an IP address plus subfolder?
Hi Drew
thanks for getting back to me. Yes it does, but visiting that address does not appear to trigger the page to be added:
https://79.170.40.33/whitbylifeboat.org.uk/
I've visited that address a few times but the additional page is yet to reappear!
That would likely be the cause.
