   Comment out and add the following lines:

   #LoadModule mpm_worker_module libexec/apache2/mod_mpm_worker.so
   LoadModule mpm_prefork_module libexec/apache2/mod_mpm_prefork.so
   
   LoadModule php_module /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/libexec/apache2/libphp.so
     <FilesMatch \.php$>
       SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
     </FilesMatch>
   
     <IfModule dir_module>
         DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm
     </IfModule>
   
     LoadModule rewrite_module libexec/apache2/mod_rewrite.so
     ServerName localhost:8080
     ServerName 127.0.0.1:8080
   

   and, if needed:

   ServerName #yourip:8080
   

Now, download offline resources:

1. Go to the Apache directory:

   cd /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/share/apache2/default-site/htdocs
   

2. Clone this repo:

   git clone https://github.com/dhammagift/dg.git ./
   

3. Clone the current https://suttacentral.net data:

   git clone https://github.com/suttacentral/sc-data.git ./suttacentral.net
   

4. Download the https://accesstoinsight.org data:

   wget http://accesstoinsight.org/tech/download/ati.zip
   unzip ati.zip ./accesstoinsight.org
   

5. Download legacy https://suttacentral.net data:
   (note: you dont need it if the https://suttacentral.net offline PWA is working fine on your phone)

   wget https://legacy.suttacentral.net/exports/sc-offline-2016-11-30_16:03:42.zip
   unzip sc-offline-2016-11-30_16:03:42.zip ./legacy.suttacentral.net
   

   or:

   wget https://legacy.suttacentral.net/exports/sc-offline-2016-11-30_16:03:42.7z
   

6. Download https://theravada.ru:

   mkdir theravada.ru && cd theravada.ru
   wget -r --no-check-certificate  --no-parent -P ./ https://theravada.ru/Teaching/canon.htm
   

   Fix possible double dir... check later

   cd theravada.ru/Teaching/Canon/Suttanta
   for i in `find . -name  "*" -type f`; do
   echo $i;
   iconv -f windows-1251 $i > ../tmp
   mv ../tmp $i
   sed -i 's@windows-1251@utf-8@g' $i
   done
   

7. Check and fix links if needed:

   cd /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/share/apache2/default-site/htdocs/ru
   
   ln -s ../assets ./assets
   ln -s ../sc ./sc
   ln -s ../scripts ./scripts
   ln -s ../result ./result
   

8. (Optional) - if you downloaded https://suttacentral.net data somewhere else, not in the Apache default directory:

For testing your queries via the CLI, you may run:

bash ./scripts/finddhamma.sh yourqueryInPali
bash ./scripts/finddhamma.sh -ru yourqueryInRussian
bash ./scripts/finddhamma.sh -en yourqueryInEnglish
bash ./scripts/finddhamma.sh -th yourqueryInThai

Before using dg offline, don't forget to run:

apachctl start
termux-open-url http://localhost:8080/

This should open http://localhost:8080 in your web browser.
