I believe that the LAYER/CLASS object lacks the TEMPLATE parameter.
You may want to check this.

For example, you must add a line in this way:

> ########################
> map
> ....
>  # 2 layer 2006_xy_opekepe_Karditsa
>  layer
>    classitem "AFM"
>    data "2006_xy_opekepe_Karditsa"
# Add this here:
>    template "2006_xy_opekepe_Karditsa_template.html"
#
>    footer "2006_xy_opekepe_Karditsa_footer.html"
>    group "2006_xy_opekepe_Karditsa"
>    header "2006_xy_opekepe_Karditsa_header.html"
>    labelcache on
>    labelitem "AFM"
>    name "2006_xy_opekepe_Karditsa"
>    postlabelcache true
>    status on
>    type point
>    TOLERANCE    600
>    TOLERANCEUNITS      pixels
>    TRANSPARENCY 60
>    # 1 class 2006_xy_opekepe_Karditsa_1
>    class
>      STYLE
>         SYMBOL 'CIRCLE'
>         SIZE 10
>         OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0
>         COLOR 24 93 38
>       END
>    END
>  end
> ....
