Sorry, I will try to explain to my best of knowledge, but thanks for the 
very quick answer !

Yeps, my SP first worked directly against the testshib.org, and I 
changed it to use my newly installed shibboleth idP, using the meta data 
found on this new idP.

I can see the it redirect from my SP to my idP as I expected it to do, 
but I did expect my idP to relay this request to the testshib.org 
server, but instead in seems to fail on looking for a authentication 
mechanism on my idP with I have not provided at the moment (did not 
think it was necessary yet)

I know apache make things more complicated but, I really need to use 
this due to other requirements outside the scope of this setup, and I 
believe that I understand the apache part of the problem :-)

Will the testshib.org not qualify for a ACS ? In the log file snip i 
found that it was complaining about :

No custom or group-based relying party configuration found for 
https://idp.moch.dk/idp/shibboleth. Using default relying party 
configuration.

Does this mean that in ignore my testshib entry in the relay-party file ?

Hmm, the setup is like this :

SP (linux service : https://lue.dk/sso) -> idP (idp.moch.dk) -> idP 
(testshib.org)

Again thanks for your fast relay, I am already full of renewed hope :-)
