# Introduction

+### Tip
+If you are seeing error messages such as `Invalid version (expected 2, but 60) or the data in not in 'javabin' format` compare the version of the Solr Server against the version of solrj the connector is compiled with. This error message is most likely due to a version mismatch between the server and solrj. To address this try replacing the solr-solrj-*.jar packaged with the connector with the version that matches the Solr server you are connecting to.
