The error message tells you there is a problem, you have to track down which page is not found and correct the request.

192.168.1.42 : Ip V4 address
[24/Jul/2019 14:08:35] : DateTime
"[33mPOST /inform HTTP/1.1[0m" : Escaped text to highlight it
404 : Typical error number for "Page not found" (in internet domain)

You probably have some server logs that give more details on the error.

I have been to every page on my website and they are all there.

No, it's not that. A POST request is coming in, probably for a URL that doesn't exist. From what you posted, it looks like the POST is specifying either a page (with no extension) called "inform", or no page under a folder called "inform".

This is probably coming from a badly formatted URL from somewhere. There isn't enough information in what you posted to determine exactly what sent the request.

The error message is useless, there is more information somewhere.
