I am just launching my first drupal site, but I'm having a weird issue. Some of my items always refer to my local install instead of the live site. Did I do something wrong in deploying my site that would cause this?
Here is the live site:
http://bodyworkatx.com/
If you go to any of the pages (besides the home page) there should be a graphic header - but in firebug it always shows an absolute link to my local install.
Also the shopping cart is not working. When I click add to cart button it brings me to my local install. Also that is how most of my buttons in the admin area work as well.
Any thoughts or suggestions where I went wrong?
Thanks in advance, everyone has been so helpful.

Ok, for some of the admin panels such as payment methods in Ubracart it has things pre-set up like:
Cancel return URL: http://bodyworkatx.localhost:8082/
How can I change this - it is hard written
Some thoughts
Ok, so I visited your site and saw that you've gotten the headers to appear on each page now. Right on!
I also looked at your ubercart setup and I'm seeing the messed up URL's there. The first thing that springs to mind is that your drupal base path setting is messed up. Your best bet to fix that is to go into sites/default/settings.php and uncomment the base_path directive, and set that to 'http://bodyworkatx.com' . If your settings.php is relatively unscathed then the base_path directive is on line 125.
The page you're referring to in Ubercart builds the form prefixes using the drupal 'url' function, and sends in 'absolute' => true as a parameter. That means it's going into your drupal install, grabbing the $base_path global variable, and appending to it. This is why I suspect that your base_path variable is wrong.
Hope that helps!

Thank you for you help. That was it. I knew that it was something simple, but I didn't know where to make the change. I'm new to php and drupal. I feel like I'm going all over the place looking for where to make the changes.
So most of the Ubercart is now working - at least I got it a step further. Now I get an error after submitting contact information. Baby steps!!!!
sure 'nuff
