Duplicate pages appearing

Help! I have duplicate pages appearing in a new (live) site.

The site has been working fine for a couple of weeks (it went live at the start of October), but now duplicate pages have started appearing, and, since they are taking precedence over the original pages, the site is showing their content (which is blank) instead.

It seems to be related to the pagePath data in the perch2_pages DB table. The duplicate pages are showing the domain name as part of the pagePath, whereas the original pages show relative paths. See screenshot here: https://jonathanbrain.com/files/oddball_db.png

I'd appreciate it if you could help me resolve this urgently!

Here are the diagnostics:

Hello Jonathan. Are you with Namesco by chance for your hosting? --- Scratch that yes your are! I'm having the same issues as you. I suspect something has changed on Namesco environment.

Hey Geoff - yes, I think NamesCo have tweaked their environment in the past few days. Really not sure how to fix this...

(Pardon the edit)

It seems that downgrading the version of PHP from 5.6 to 5.5 might have resolved this. Certainly I'm now able to use the site normally without broken duplicate pages being created.

Not sure if this is a PHP 5.6 problem or a NamesCo problem.

Ha - a pattern emerges! Thanks - I'll consider advising my client to jump host.
