I went through this problem too, this is how I solved:
Check the location of your database.yml file, it could be in 2 places: /opt/metasploit-framework/ /home/youruser/.msf4/
Then set the variable MSF_DATABASE_CONFIG to that location: MSF_DATABASE_CONFIG=/thelocation
Finally, launch the armitage as root, while preserving the user enviroment: sudo -E armitage
it should work.
