htaccess - redirect parent folder to file within parent folder
I'm attempting to redirect the user to a file within a folder if the user types the folder's address as a URL.
For example:
https://www.example.com/shop
should redirect to:
https://www.example.com/shop/en_GB/index.html
I've tried to do it using a htaccess file in the root with the following rule:
Redirect 301 /shop https://www.example.com/shop/en_GB/index.html
but this does not work - it adds the file URL over and over again in the address bar.
Can anyone help? Thanks.

Redirect directive matches any URI pattern that starts with the given string. Hence you're getting a redirect loop.
You should use RedirectMatch directive for this purpose that supports regex and allows you to match precise strings.
RedirectMatch 301 ^/shop/?$ /shop/en_GB/index.html
Make sure to use a new browser for your testing or clear browser cache completely.
