Thnx for you help!

There we have the Problem...

The File belongs to User: boardspots and Group: boardspots

now the User boardspots has Read and Write access.... Group boardspots only has read access and everybody else also just has read access!

rw-r--r--
rw- = User boardspots has read/write
r-- = Group boardspots hs read only
r-- = everybody else has read only!

Fixed it

<VirtualHost *.*.*.*>
DefaultRoot ~
</VirtualHost>

Had to be instead DefaultRoot ~ of the DefaultRoot /opt/lampp/htdocs
