Answer 1

Deleting /etc/init/mysql.override did the job in my case (HostEurope VPS with Ubuntu 12.04)

Answer 2

No answer helped. Finally chkconfig and update-rc.d did not work with MySQL on my machine.

Solution, I had a file /etc/init/mysql.override which contained

manual

i just deleted that file

$ sudo rm /etc/init/mysql.override

Answer 3

update-rc.d allows setting init script links on Ubuntu and Debian Linux systems to control what services are run by init when entering various runlevels. It should be able to add mysql to the list of services to run at boot:

sudo update-rc.d mysql defaults

If you later want to disable running mysql on bootup:

sudo update-rc.d mysql remove
