grep -inRH "ServerName " /etc/apache2/ | grep "\s#"*

I added ServerName = Localhost

and grep -inRH "ServerName " /etc/apache2/ | grep "\s#"*

gives me this output i used a virtuell host before

You need to put a file, not just folders in /var/www/html . Make sure the file is readable by the Apache process too. Try putting a file named index.html there, run chmod a+r /var/www/html/index.html and then browse to localhost again - you should see the contents of your file then
