Describe the bug
A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

When I navigate to the nginx module directory there's no such a directory. What could be the reason?

Below you can find the relevent command output.

Hello,

the module path is created only when Nginx is compiled with dynamic modules.
Otherwise, it will only be an empty directory.
