I always follow the WMS Server document, when I configure a mapfile for GetFeatureInfo (see the section "Configuring for GetFeatureInfo Requests" at http://www.mapserver.org/ogc/wms_server.html).  I check it often for syntax.

Key points as noted there, are:

  - set your WEB METADATA parameter of "wms_feature_info_mime_type" 
(likely to "text/plain")
  - in the LAYER METADATA specify the fields to expose through "gml_include_items"
  - set DUMP TRUE inside the layer
  - set CLASS TEMPLATE (likely to something like "dummy.html")


If I missed something it's likely inside that document.
