Check out your httpd.conf file looking for something like this:

<Directory "{your_htdocs_dir}">
    ...
    AllowOverride None
    ...
</Directory>

According to: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/howto/htaccess.html:

The use of .htaccess files can be disabled completely by setting the AllowOverride directive to “none”.

Change it to: AllowOverride All (or something more secure, you can find options in the mentioned link) and it should work.
