i've copied over my local install to the live server and modified the config files in the root directory and /admin directory the site is working fine except all of the images \ links are still pointing to localhost/opencart (from my local install) are there other config files that need to be modified?

Did you check your config files if the path is correct for your images?

No, just change the store URL in the admin panel. Then everything should direct to the new site.
Remember the trailing slash...
