Manually Start LAMP Server

Question

I setup a LAMP server on my desktop Ubuntu install for testing web applications. How do I set it to only run when I tell it to rather than at startup? It is not used as a production web server but instead for testing PHP scripts I write before pushing them to my public web server.

This will start Apache, MySql and ProFTPD.

Just write this in terminal:

sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start

If that doesn't work, try removing them forcefully.

sudo update-rc.d -f apache2 remove
sudo update-rc.d -f mysql remove
