Can you open 0.0.0.0:4723 on the browser?
An error message like The URL '/' did not map to a valid resource will appear if your local env can resolve the local network. If no, you should resolve the network connection on your local env, I assume.

On Appium server UI select Automatic server as at times Costume server is selected and hence the error
