Hi,

What do you mean by "instead"? Really that texts do not follow the streets at 
all, or that they do follow the line, but just a few labels are shown on a map?

Label disappearing must be due to collision handling mechanism. See what 
happens if you add FORCE TRUE to label definitions, that should draw always all 
the labels and you can see if the labels are following the lines or not. If 
they do then you need just to play with label MINDISTANCE and MINFEATURESIZE 
parameters so that you'll get more labels which do not collide.
I have actually never played with labels myself, I was just reading the mapfile 
reference and tried to think what might be wrong with your map. I hope my 
suggestions are not misleading.
