The parent describes how to do this with tmux right out of the box -- you don't need anything in your config to get this to work. Did you start tmux? If you haven't set up iTerm to connect to a tmux session by default, any new tabs/splits you make won't be running it. You should be able to tell by the presence of the status bar at the bottom.
