The
feature failed to activate because a list at 'Documents' already exists in this
site. Delete or rename the list and try
activating the feature again. at

Troubleshooting steps:
Try
activating the publishing feature at the site collection level. If it’s
successful then forthcoming issues will also gets resolved and you can
successfully activates the feature at the subsite level too.
If the error message
stated that the list is already exist then open the site (on which you are
facing problems) in SPD (SharePoint Designer). You will see the same list that
was reflected in the error message. Either delete it or rename it and then try
to activate the feature. It will be successful.
If you are facing
problems by means of GUI then try to activate the same by means of stsadm
command.
Check the ULS logs for
detail error messages
Check event logs for any
specific event ID’s
Isolate the problem
specific to a site, site collection, list, and particular feature at which
level.
