ESP32 Server disconnected

Hi all.
I'm trying to connect ESP32 Camera to Web Server.
I used Arduino's CameraWebServer examples and entered SSID and PW.
It already uploaded to IDE and I got ESP32' assigned server address.
But When I tried to connect this server they said
"This Site can't be reached: ...* (Server address) took too long to respond: ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT".

I already trying firewall, DNS change, WIFI name and PW.. but still disconncected to Server. Is it computer's error or ESP module's error?
And how could I do to connect ESP32 server?

I'm honestly want to solve this problem and Thanks for help me.

Increase the debug level to "verbose".
Can you connect to your wifi?
Can you reach other servers?

How can we help, without any info about your code or what happens?

Can you ping the server's IP addresses from other computers on the local network?

Right, I'm sorry to forgot upload code and Fig

It already connect WIFI and upload well like this

, but Website noticed like

I think the "esp_camera.h" library does convert your ESP to a server.
So you have to connect your PC to your ESP32.

Do you want to save your pictures to an external server?

Once it works, you have to insert the WiFi.localIP() address in your browser to access the images on your ESP32.

Is it right?

Yes, it is right. You can ping it.
But on your example you don't get any IP. Do you have an old version?
Try with WiFi.localIP().toString() and set "Core Debug Level" to "verbose" to get more info in your output window.

Ok, I'll do this.

My IDE version is 1.8.19 which is legacy and ESP32 library version is 2.0.11, trying to match esp library and IDE but couldn't.
When I tried to IDE version 2.0.9, It doesn't work so I tried to IDE ver 1.8.19.
Can this be a problem, too?

ESP Version 2.0.11 is ok.
But maybe you have some old libraries. Because WiFi.localIP() should print the IP of your ESP.

I can't find startCameraServer(); in the ESP32 library.

I checked this and downgraded ESP32 libraries ver(1.0.6) then Camera and Server works well.
I think that It doesn't work because IDE ver is lower ver than ESP ver.
Thanks for you help! Have a Nice day :slight_smile:
