Warning: call_user_func_array() expects parameter 1 to be a valid callback, function 'sanitize_comment_cookies' not found or invalid function name in /homepages/9/d346623364/htdocs/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php on line 286

This means you have a function named sanitize_comment_cookies hooked to an action or filter, either in your theme or a plugin, but that function is not available.

Look for the code: add_action('some_action_name', 'sanitize_comment_cookies') or add_filter('some_filter_name', 'sanitize_comment_cookies') and verify that the function name is correct.

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare comment_exists()

Function comment_exists is defined in wp-admin/includes/comment.php and it should not be in the second location. From the message you can assume that you have modified wp-includes/comment.php file. If that is the case, download the WordPress version you are using and replace the modified file with the original one.
