Raw
prevent mysql from starting on boot.md

Open the terminal: Ctrl+Alt+T

Open the mysql.conf file: nano /etc/init/mysql.conf

Comment out the "start on" line near the top of the file, the "start on" might be spread across two lines, so comment out both. (comment adding # at the beginning)

If you want to manually start mysql, use the following command:

service mysql start
