  I changed the .htaccess-file after I found the [same problem with cakePHP](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15850845/request-exceeded-the-limit-of-10-internal-redirects-due-to-probable-configuratio). I just had to add `RewriteBase /` after `RewriteEngine On` so the .htaccess looks like:
  
  ```
  <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
      RewriteBase /
      # Send would be 404 requests to Craft
      RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
      RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
      RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(favicon\.ico|apple-touch-icon.*\.png)$ [NC]
      RewriteRule (.+) index.php?p=$1 [QSA,L]
  </IfModule>
  
  ```
  
  If your site is [multilingual](http://buildwithcraft.com/docs/localization-guide) (i.e., if you have subfolders like `/en/`, `/de/`, etc. with indivudual .htaccess files in them), this fix requires you to add you the locale's segment to the specific rewrite base of each .htaccess file (e.g. `RewriteBase /en/` and so on.)
  
  Now it works fine.
