Is there a way to make apache and mysql not run automatically on startup?

Currently, whenever I boot my machine, they start automatically and run in the background.

I am using Ubuntu 12.04.

Apache

sudo update-rc.d -f apache2 disable

Apache is still using rc.d init script, which is why you must disable it using update-rc.d.

MySQL

echo manual | sudo tee /etc/init/mysql.override

MySQL on the other hand has converted to an upstart configuration file. The recommended way of disabling upstart services is to use an override file.
