If you want to enable it globally in httpd.conf, I think it might need to be enabled under the DocumentRoot.
<Directory “/var/www/html”>:
# The Options directive is both complicated and important. Please see
# http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#options
# for more information.
#
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
#
# AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.
# It can be “All”, “None”, or any combination of the keywords:
# Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
#
AllowOverride All
More information: FollowSymLinks option
AllowOverride Directive
