I had to hardcode the following in wp-config.php file:
define(‘WP_HOME’,’http://kirtigoel.com/wordpress’);
define(‘WP_SITEURL’,’http://kirtigoel.com/wordpress’);
so that the theme of the website works fine. If I remove the above code, the theme doesn’t apply and I am unable to login.

(Also, just so you know, I have not added any php code in functions.php as well)

This does not allow me to change the directory in which I have installed wordpress and I cannot access the site without adding /wordpress in the URL. (I have done a workaround for now – added a index.html file pointing to the .com/)

What else am I supposed to do?

Thanks esmi for that prompt reply. However, I think I have run in other issues.
To recap, I followed through these websites in order to change the siteURL http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory and http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL (the latter since the first one gave errors).
When it all got messed up, I uninstalled wordpress, deleted the database and was wanting to clear everything, thinking things would be fine with a fresh start…not knowing what I was getting into.
I had backed up the database before deleting it though. (http://codex.wordpress.org/Backing_Up_Your_Database)
I got the web backup on the server from the host (the backup was a previously dated one – before I had attempted to change the URL). With that I got back the wordpress with the themes/plugins (www.kirtigoel.com/wordpress). Now, when I try to import the database (using http://codex.wordpress.org/Restoring_Your_Database_From_Backup), I am being taken to http://www.iana.org/domains/example/ upon logging in.

Can you suggest me? I haven’t worked with sql much – cannot figure out if there is an issue with the DB I am trying to import.
