Theres a few ways to go about this. One is to move the images over to your /var/www folder which is your default web folder that is accessible from your network ip or http: //localhost

You could also edit /etc/apache2/sites-enabled to point to your /var/images folder as your website's default (replacing /var/www as your website's default folder)

You could also simply symlink your /var/images folder to your /var/www -- so that the symlinked folder is /var/www/varimages and can be accessed via http://localhost/varimages/image.png

A symlinking operation can be performed by running a command such as

sudo ln -s /var/images /var/www/varimages

Keep in mind that command is (lowercase) LN
