If you're not used to Apache, MapServer and PHP, it is recommended that 
you install  CartoWeb using the dedicated installer. I'm not sure you 
have done so when reading your message (?).
Installers usage is described here:
http://cartoweb.org/doc_head/docbook/xhtml/user.install.html#user.install.win32

WAMP does come with the SOAP extension but for some reason the latter 
doesn't appear in WAMP php.ini extensions lists. That is not a big deal: 
just add "extension=php_soap.dll" after the other extensions lines in 
your php.ini.
Concerning "extension=php_mapscript.dll", you may as well add it in your 
php.ini but it is not necessary when using the CartoWeb installer.

There are 2 possible reasons for this:
- you installed CartoWeb using the CartoWeb installer but forgot to 
restart your web server: click right on the WAMP icon in your system 
tray - bottom right of the screen - > "restart all services"
- you installed CartoWeb+MapServer by hand: in that case you need to add 
yourself "extension=php_mapscript.dll" in the php.ini file.

=> it's a consequence of an incorrect SOAP activation in your WAMP 
setup. See above.

Absolutely not! It is not necessary (and not recommended) to modify 
CartoWeb "upstream" PHP code (PHP files that are not located in the 
projects/ directory). The CARTOWEB_HOME constant is automatically set by 
CartoWeb.

Have a look in your PHP extensions dir (C:\wamp\php\ext in standard WAMP 
installations).
