    The directory is failing to be created is on behalf of flask-session, which has a SESSION_FILE_DIR setting that’ll let you override its default. Point that to some place with the appropriate permissions, and you’ll likely be fine.

    You should specify which type of session interface to use.

    Try to set the SESSION-TYPE to "null".
