Sorry,  Iforgot to change the permissions after installation. Now I 
changed the ownership of all the files in/srv/www/htdochs/horde to 
wwwrun.www

But that did not change anything for me.

Now I tried a few things:

I copied the above config settings into horde/var/config/horde/conf.php. 
This is now the content of that file:

$conf['log']['priority'] = 'DEBUG';
$conf['log']['ident'] = 'HORDE';
$conf['log']['name'] = '/var/log/horde.log';
$conf['log']['params']['append'] = true;
$conf['log']['params']['format'] = 'default';
$conf['log']['type'] = 'file';
$conf['log']['enabled'] = true;

if (!defined('HORDE_BASE')) define('HORDE_BASE', 
'/srv/www/htdocs/horde/web/horde');
ini_set('include_path', 
'/srv/www/htdocs/horde/vendor/horde/autoloader/lib:/srv/www/htdocs/horde/vendor/horde/form/lib/:' 
.  ini_get('include_path'));
        require_once('/srv/www/htdocs/horde/vendor/horde/core/lib/Horde/Core/Nosql.php');
        require_once('/srv/www/htdocs/horde/vendor/autoload.php');

But that does also not change anything.

I suppose, that there could be something wrong with the apache2 
configuration.
I tried the directive UseCanonicalName = On in the virtualHost config 
file. But that also did not change anything.
