Second order differential equation with variation of parameters

I'd like to solve $y''+frac2xy'=frac1x^2$
I identify this as Euler-Cauchy and rewrite to $x^2y''+2xy'=1$
So I have a homogenous solution of $y_h=C_1+fracC_2x$
Second order Variation of parameters:
$C_1(x)'=frac1frac1xfrac1x^2=x rightarrow C_1 = fracx^22$
$C_1(x)'=-frac1cdot1frac1x^2=-x^2 rightarrow C_2 = -fracx^33$
Is this procedure correct?

No. You can see that $C_1+frac C_2 x$ is not a solution to the DE for the values of $C_1,C_2$ you have computed.. What you have to do is compute first and second derivatives of $C_1+frac C_2 x$, plug them in to the DE. There will be some cancellations and you will get a first order DE in $C_1'$ and $C_2'$. Solving these and integrating you can find the solutions.
Can I not just use en.wikipedia.org/wiki/… (which is what you are proposing right?) the "result", where $A'(x)=-frac1Wu_2(x)f(x)$ an integrate this? Or is the problem here, that my EQ is not of the form $y''+p(x)y'+q(x)y=f(x)$?

just to make sure: in my case $u_1(x)=1$ and $u_2(x)=1/x$, right?

Yes, those are $u_1$ and $u_2$.

By using $x=e^z$ and $D_1=d/dz$, the equation becomes. $$(D_1(D_1-1)+2D_1)y=1$$
So the particular integral is $$frac1D_1(D_1+1)1=frac1D_11=z=log x$$
So the solution is $$y=C_1+fracC_2x+log x$$

$$y''+frac2xy'=frac1x^2$$
Substitute $z=y'$
$$x^2z'+2xz=1$$
Using variation of parameter
Solving the homogeneous equation
$$x^2z'+2xz=0$$
$$(x^2z)'=0 implies x^2z=K_1$$
$$z=frac K_1x^2$$
$$x^2z'+2xz=1$$
$$x^2(-2K_1x^-3)+K'_1+2xfrac K_1x^2=1$$
$$K'_1=1$$
$$K_1=x+C$$
$$implies z=frac x+Cx^2$$
$$y'=frac x+Cx^2$$
Simply integrate
$$y=int frac x+Cx^2dx$$
$$y=ln|x|+frac C_1x+C_2$$

$$y''+frac2xy'=frac1x^2$$
Substitute $z=y'$
$$x^2z'+2xz=1$$
Using variation of parameter
Solving the homogeneous equation
$$x^2z'+2xz=0$$
$$(x^2z)'=0 implies x^2z=K_1$$
$$z=frac K_1x^2$$
$$x^2z'+2xz=1$$
$$x^2(-2K_1x^-3)+K'_1+2xfrac K_1x^2=1$$
$$K'_1=1$$
$$K_1=x+C$$
$$implies z=frac x+Cx^2$$
$$y'=frac x+Cx^2$$
Simply integrate
$$y=int frac x+Cx^2dx$$
$$y=ln|x|+frac C_1x+C_2$$
