Oops, there shouldn’t be a #$ here since we’re not inside #~.

Assuming ‘demo-website’ is bound to a package object, you should be able
to do:

  (root (file-append demo-website "/"))

or simply:

  (root demo-website)

The #$ above are invalid since #$ is meant to be used within #~.
Likewise, the first argument to ‘assoc-ref’ must be an association list,
which ‘demo-website’ is not.  As for ‘package-file’, it’s not enough: it
returns the file name of the package, but doesn’t make the package a
dependency of the vhost config.

HTH!
