AP mode connection failure

[mrkshffmnn]

Set everything up, works if controlled over home wifi network.

Want to try the Access point mode because my light setup is supposed to be portable.
I can connect to the created AP and go to the webserver (192.168.0.115)
but nothing loads apart of the header and the "connecting, please wait..." message at the bottom.

Serial monitor displays the following:
"Listing directory: /

with the points going endlessly.
No idea whats causing this.
Help would be nice.

I haven't done much testing with AP mode lately. Where'd you get the IP address 192.168.0.115 from? Tried 192.168.4.1, as noted in the serial output?

[mrkshffmnn]

192.168.0.115 is the IP that works in the normal network mode, 192.168.4.1 isn't addressable in AP or normal mode.
And the header is loading at the 192.168.0.115 address so I guessed it would be the right one to go to.
The 192.168.4.1 address ist just a static serial.print which I think can change depending on the hardware address of your microcontroller.

I am having the issue of it not giving my device a dhcp address I think? I tried setting this up in AP mode since standard wifi was not working T^T. I get one of two errors:
E (27915) event: mismatch or invalid event, id=63 E (27915) event: default event handler failed! .dhcps: send_offer>>udp_sendto result 0

Or

It's getting stuck in the handleWeb() function inside of web.h. It's waiting for the status to be WL_CONNECTED but I'm not sure that will ever be the case in this situation. What do we need to change here to let it escape the loop?

I'm assuming there is more to setting it up in AP mode than just uncommenting those lines in WiFi.h

Seems like an easy thing to test
