what's the simplest way to serve php files through an alias?

[Ilan Berkner]

we have a very simple configuration.

server block with location block

php is served through fastcgi and works fine

would like to add something like this:

location /nameofalias/
{
   alias /usr/local/nameofalias;
}

but it does not seem to work, static files load fine.

the php location block is like this and works fine for the main location
block of "location /"

        location ~ .php$
        {
                include fcgi;
                fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
        }

what else is needed?
