I am building a new website. I see a “error while saving message” _Page with URL “/” already exists in domain www (en)_ ---

**Hey @Shuss3! Welcome to our community,** **This message usually appears when the root URL “/” is already taken by another page.** In Sitejet, every website must have exactly **one** homepage assigned to “/”. **What to check:** 1. Go to **Pages** → look for the page that already has the URL **“/”** (the current homepage). 2. Either: 3. Save again — the error should disappear. This happens often when duplicating pages or when the homepage was created automatically. ---

Hey @Shuss3 - please let me know your Website ID. I am happy to check this for you 🙂 ---

Hi @Andre it has happened to me several times! But the solution is still there!!! **Yes, exactly — that’s what I’m referring to as well.** When someone renames a page and the slug loses the leading “/”, Sitejet reads it as a duplicate of the root URL and throws this error. So the fix is simply checking the slug structure and restoring the correct “/”. Happens quite often in real projects. Thanks for jumping in, Andre! ---

> [@Kalisperakichris](#): > > Hi @Andre it has happened to me several times! It never happened to me before. So I guess its a personal experience, that you should mark as this 😉 ---

**Totally fair — Sitejet might behaves slightly differently depending on how pages were created or duplicated.** In my case, I’ve seen this specific error appear several times when editing slugs, so I shared it as an additional scenario that might help others who run into it. Always good to have multiple angles documented for future users. 😊 ---

Surely. But I like to point this out again: **This is a personal experience**. If this were a bug or as you said “happens often”, we would have gotten more than 2 reports in 7 months about this error. Those two reports though did not rule out an issue on our side nor a user error. However, your inital post is phrased as this is happening in general 🙂 The basic procedure when duplicating pages or creating them is quite clear and the default behavior is, that this works as intended. If someone experiences issues, then I like to take a look and see why this happened. This helps figuring out potential bugs, potential issues in the process or just a user error. Both help improve the experience. ---

Hi Everybody I’ve exyperienced it several times, too. I will have a specific look at the slug ending with ”/” next time and might report it to you. ---

Great. Please let me know what you did before exactly so I can try to reproduce this 🙂
