hugo url content organization not working

Question

error example

file structure I'm using

I am using the content organization guidelines described by the hugo website and it seems to not work whenever I run hugo server -D. any suggestions as to how I could get it to work?

this is the structure offered by the hugo docs just in case:

.
└── content
    └── about
    |   └── index.md  // <- https://example.com/about/
    ├── posts
    |   ├── firstpost.md   // <- https://example.com/posts/firstpost/
    |   ├── happy
    |   |   └── ness.md  // <- https://example.com/posts/happy/ness/
    |   └── secondpost.md  // <- https://example.com/posts/secondpost/
    └── quote
        ├── first.md       // <- https://example.com/quote/first/
        └── second.md      // <- https://example.com/quote/sec

Do you know the difference between index.md and _index.md? You must use the latter in this case.
