What exactly *does* happen? Do you get a broken image? What is the
*exact* URL of the image link?
Your Alias line is basically correct and should "work". However, there
are a number of typos in your post so I'm not sure if what we are seeing
is the literal content of your config or just your hurriedly re-typed
rendition of it. To be specific, try:
Alias /images /var/www/foo.com/blah/images
Which is closer to that recommended by the docs...
