Creating new page - 'Sorry, that page could not be created'

Hi,

I have created a page manually in gallery/case-studies/index.php. It exists on the server, and when logged into Perch on the host server, I attempt to create a page called Case Studies (having the slug case-studies) as a subpage of Gallery with instructions that this page will have pages below it (to ensure it is located in a folder with the slug name as the file index.php). I get the message:

Sorry, that page could not be created.

Any tips?

Here is the output of my Diagnostics:

If you've created it manually and then try to create it again, you'll get problems.

But why...?

Is it so hard to say "if this file/folder exists dont create it just add it to the database, if not then create it and add it to the database.". Here ill even help you out with this Perch.

if(!file_exists("folder")){
  // create directory
  // create index.php inside directory
}
// add page to database
