    The problem I am facing is that I have domain with Godddy and I am trying to install wordpress on it. However, after installation, the folder name in which I installed wordpress gets added up in the domain URL.

    Let me explain this, for example I have a domain name www. mobile.com . Now I created a folder named mobile in which I will install wordpress. After the installation, the URL I am getting is www.mobile.com/mobile which I don't want.

    Please help me, I am wacked out of my mind solving this riddle:mad::p

    So you need to point the domain to folder name "mobile", that will resolve that you can do it from goddady. Actually you already point the domain to that and yes.
    after that you need to change the path from database this mobile.com/ instead of this mobile.com/mobile
    So need to go to table name "wp_options" and change in 2 "option_value"
    1. siteurl which option_id is 2
    2. home which option_id is 39

    That will resolve you issue

    I've actually had some issues with the installers that some hosts use. Some of them force me to install wordpress in to a new directory, and I have no idea why. My solution was do do the download from wordpress.org and do everything manually
