Solr Solaruim Client->ping is failing - solr

Question

I am new to this stuff. I just inherited this olde system! I managed to get Solr running, and am trying to execute some old code that rebuilds the Solr data. The client ping is failing and I don't understand why.
Here is the code that is trying to initiate a re-index
// these are correct, now Solarium is falling over
// with a 404. pile of junk
print(SOLR_SERVER_HOSTNAME . "\n");
print(SOLR_SERVER_PORT . "\n");
print(SOLR_SERVER_CORE . "\n");
$options = array(
'adapteroptions' => array(
'host' => SOLR_SERVER_HOSTNAME,
'port' => SOLR_SERVER_PORT,
'core' => SOLR_SERVER_CORE,
'timeout' => 60
)
);
}
try {
// Ping the Solr server to check its availability
// create a new client. This seems to work
$this->client = new Solarium_Client($options);
if ($this->client) {
print("Solarium returned something \n");
print_r($this->client);
print("\n");
} else {
echo 'Solarium screwed the pooch';
}
// and create a ping whatever that means
// this also seems to work
$ping = $this->client->createPing();
if ($ping) {
print("ping creation worked \n");
print_r($ping);
} else {
print("ping creation failed \n");
}
// this always fails and terminate the
// program run
$this->client->ping($ping);
} catch (Solarium_Exception $e) {
print("exeption from ping request \n");
throw $e;
}
print("about to reset \n");
// Reset all filters and queries and process request params if requested
$this->reset($request);
}
The Solr admin screen is up. I have an empty collection1..
Here is the output from the trace I stuck in here

Any hints? It's the first time I have seen this stuff.
Cheers,

Fixed. The core name was getting flattened in another bit of code. Two constants for the same property. Two different values! – Addinall 22 secs
