- Mon Dec 25, 2017 10:09 am #72691 Hello everyone, I need someone to help me fix this error. This is my first post here, so let me know if I missed anything while posting here. I get this string of errors while running the basic Hello Web Server example off of ESP8266WebServer library.

Arduino version - 1.8.5
ESP board manager URL - http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/packa ... index.json

Error:
