Hi,
I've started going in circles with this. I am using the Ken Taylor port of the wifiManager library and want to add my own website.
I have the wifiManager library working.
I have the website working when the credentials are hard coded.
Failed at combining the two.
What I would like to achieve:
- Use the wifiManager portal to enter the wifi credentials
- Connect to the local wifi
- serve a small website over the local network.
- Still have the wifiManager portal active but only only when connected directly to the ESP8266 on 192.168.4.1
In the below sketch. The ESP8266 connects to the local network but when I go to the new ip address I get the wifiManager portal. I don't get my website. It appears the captive portal is still active.
The Looping message is not displayed until after I close the portal. After closing the portal the Looping message is displayed but I get no response from the local network. My webpage is not served.
Everything tells me this should be straight forward but I cannot get it to work.
Here's what I get in the serial monitor. The Looping message starts when the portal is closed. Not sure if this is useful.
The Esp8266 is connected to the local network but the new webpage is not being served. The connection has been verified.
Would really appreciate some help or a working example.

Here's what I get in the serial monitor. The Looping message starts when the portal is closed. Not sure if this is useful.
Code: Select all

*WM: Handle root
*WM: Info
*WM: Sent info page
*WM: Handle root

*WM: Sent server close page
connected...yeey :)
After waiting 73.47 secs in setup() connection result is 3

The Esp8266 is connected to the local network but the new webpage is not being served. The connection has been verified.
Would really appreciate some help or a working example.
