GetChildHtml method returning empty string for head block- Magento 1.9

I have been trying to migrate the existing magento 1.9 project to ec2 sever, everything else along with admin panel is setup properly, but the head.phtml is not loaded and this->getChildHtml('head') is returning empty string.

Page.xml

<block type="page/html" name="root" output="toHtml" template="page/1column.phtml">

        <block type="page/html_head" name="head" as="head">

1column.phtml

<head>
    <?php echo( $this->getChildHtml('head') )?>
</head>

As we can see in image below ,Head tag is not rendered.

    I resolved the issue by completing removing the GTSPEED module from the project, as it was somehow restricting the head.phtml from loading properly.

    Try this:

    <head>
    <?php echo $this->getChildHtml('head') ?>
</head>
