Answer 1

enable your soap extension in php. open php.ini find the line have "php_soap" and uncomment this line, restart web server, problem solved.

Answer 2

You shouldn't have to modify php.ini to enable soap on modern distributions. If it's not enabled, the package probably isn't installed. Once you install the correct package, your distro should enable the correct php.ini settings for you.

On Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install php-soap

will install and enable the soap extensions for you.
