SOLVED Can't get permissions page directly

[MarkE]

I'm probably being dim, but can anyone explain why $pages->get('/processwire/access/permissions/') returns a null page?

See Tracy console below:

I can't reproduce this behaviour. Both return the page properly.

Thanks @bernhard. So I tried it in a different installation and it worked fine, so I'm left puzzling about what might be odd in the first case ?

Maybe the permissions page has moved somehow? That would explain why name=permissions finds something and providing the path does not.

Nope. As you see, the parent is correct. I also copied the path directly from the settings tab of the page.

Ah, true. Now I remember I checked that yesterday but didn't think of that any more ? Then I'm out of ideas ?

Me too. But this, which is even odder, may give some clues:

Maybe a database corruption - I'll try Adminer.

Solved @bernhard! Table pages_paths was missing all ids < 1017. Rebuilt as follows:

$pagePaths = $modules->get("PagePaths");
$int = $pagePaths->rebuild();
