Rails not finding files on lib folder

Every time a controller or model tries to access a class on the /lib folder it says:

NameError (uninitialized constant 'current_controller':'class_name' did you mean 'something_else')

YES, I know the rails naming conventions and I am using it correctly. I have the code running in several other servers (Ubuntu & CentOS 6). It errors only on these 2 RedHat7.2 servers we have - same exact ruby/rails/gems on all servers. The error occurs with any library file I try to use. SELinux is disabled.

Ruby version 2.3.3; Rails version 5.1.0 (same on all servers)

Anyone have any ideas? Rails is suppose to automatically load those class files.

On rails < 5:

config/application.rb

module your_app
  class Application < Rails::Application
    # Settings in config/environments/* take precedence over those specified here.
    # Application configuration should go into files in config/initializers
    # -- all .rb files in that directory are automatically loaded.
    config.autoload_paths += %W(#{config.root}/lib/path)
  end
end

on rails >= 5

module your_app
  class Application < Rails::Application
    config.eager_load_paths << "#{Rails.root}/lib/path"
  end
end

If you want rails to auto load your lib you have to place it under the app folder.
