Redirect loop in htaccess

why is this causing a redirect loop? How do I have to change the code, to make it work?

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Accept-Language} de [NC]
RewriteRule ^$ http://website.com/?___store=german
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Accept-Language} nl [NC]
RewriteRule ^$ http://website.com/?___store=dutch

Thank you,

Toby

Try this:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Accept-Language} de [NC]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !^___store [NC]
RewriteRule ^$ http://website.com/?___store=german [L]

RewriteCond %{HTTP:Accept-Language} nl [NC]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !^___store [NC]
RewriteRule ^$ http://website.com/?___store=dutch [L]

If you go to website.com with AL of 'de', and then you get redirected to __store=german, your AL will still be 'de', so it will keep trying to redirect to that __store=german. Adding the [L] flag will stop apache from attempting to redirect multiple times.

This is another option, although the ___store parameter would have to be the same as the accept language. I think this should work (not exactly sure on the specifics of passing variables from a condition)

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Accept-Language} (de|nl) [NC]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !^___store [NC]
RewriteRule ^$ http://website.com/?___store=%1 [L]

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING}         !\b___store=\w+\b
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Accept-Language} de [NC]
RewriteRule ^$                      /?___store=german   [L,QSA]

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING}         !\b___store=\w+\b
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Accept-Language} nl [NC]
RewriteRule ^$                      /?___store=dutch    [L,QSA]

You don't need the http://website.com. .htaccess files loop so adding [L] isn't good enough; you need to detect the loop and looking for the store parameter is a good way. You also need the [QSA] flag if some requests use additional params.
